![]() ![]() ![]() They fight but keep coming back to the other. It is a series of vignettes told through the eyes of Holly Golighty's neighbor. I could see what he painted in words and feel what the characters felt. None realize they feel lonely but will do what they must to "live." Each character is very relatable. The novella Breakfast at Tiffany's and three short stories are in this collection. Short stories are a bit hard to analyze as I don't really read enough of them to compare, but Alice Munroe and Jhumpa Lahiri are my benchmarks, and these stories didn't quite reach their level. The stories are all good, but I only found Breakfast at Tiffany's to rise above the three star level although they were all enjoyable to read and had something important to say. This story along with the three others in the book all are connected by a theme of abandonment by a loved and cherished person. ![]() ![]() Holly is a very multidimensional characters who is beguiling to men and yet who doesn't really seem to know herself at all. There are also three short stories included.īreakfast at Tiffany's is well written and relates the story of a young woman, Holly, through the eyes of her neighbor. Breakfast at Tiffany's includes the story for which the title of the book is named - and I would classify it as more of a novella than a short story. ![]()
