Fans of Breakfast at Tiffany's" and Capote's short stories will be thrilled to read Summer Crossing., "Witness the coming together of Truman Capote's voice, the electric-into-neon blaze that is surely one of the premier styles of postwar American literature."-- The Washington Post Book World "A great breezy read . . . with Capote's trademark wit, but also with genuine youthful awe at the exhilaration of late-forties New York."-- New York A lost treasure only recently found, Truman Capote's Summer Crossing is a precocious, confident first novel from one of the twentieth century's greatest writers. Set in New York just after World War II, the story follows a young carefree socialite, Grady McNeil, whose parents leave her alone in their Fifth Avenue penthouse for the summer. Left to her own devices, Grady turns up the heat on the secret affair she's been having with a Brooklyn-born Jewish war veteran who works as a parking lot attendant. As the season passes, the romance turns more serious and morally ambiguous, and Grady must eventually make a series of decisions that will forever affect her life and the lives of everyone around her., Thought to be lost for over 50 years, here is the first novel by one of the greatest American writers of the 20th century.
