Descripción editorial
Holly Golightly knows that nothing bad can ever happen to you at Tiffany's. In this seductive, wistful masterpiece, Capote created a woman whose name has entered the American idiom and whose style is a part of the literary landscape—her poignancy, wit, and naïveté continue to charm.
This volume also includes three of Capote's best-known stories, “House of Flowers,” “A Diamond Guitar,” and “A Christmas Memory,” which the Saturday Review called “one of the most moving stories in our language.” It is a tale of two innocents—a small boy and the old woman who is his best friend—whose sweetness contains a hard, sharp kernel of truth.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Golden Globe winning actor Hall (Dexter, Six Feet Under) gives a warm reading of Capote's classic novella. The story is related by an unnamed narrator looking back at the autumn of 1943, when he lived in a brownstone on Manhattan's Upper East Side and befriended his neighbor Holly Golightly. The enigmatic and beguiling young woman is a free spirit with no discernible means of support other than the kindness of the wealthy men who take her to fancy restaurants, swanky parties, and offer the occasional gift. For the next year, the narrator finds himself entranced, intoxicated, and exhausted by Holly's lifestyle, only to have their companionship end when circumstances extract her from the city and his life. Hall brings just the right tone to his narration. His characterizations are simply but effectively portrayed. He narrates the story with an earnest wistfulness that fully embodies the innocent infatuation of youth, but at the same time manages to infuse it with a sweet touch of the nostalgic melancholy. It is a solid, heartfelt performance that never lapses into corny sentimentality and will stay with the listener well after the last chapter. A Vintage paperback.

Entretenido y fácil de leer
Me gustó su manera de narrar, no demasiado descriptiva pero lo suficiente para que te sientas dentro de la historia.
Como era de esperarse por la época hay bastantes comentarios racistas en el libro, es la razón por la que no le pongo más estrellas.
Esta edición tiene otras historias cortas al final de "desayuno en Tiffany's" que me parecieron aún mejores que la historia principal.
La alegre Holly Golightly
Increíble novela corta que nos cuenta la vida de Holly Golighltly, una mujer encantadora que consigue conquistar la clase alta neoyorquina al salir con hombres de poder. Contada desde el punto de vista de una narrador anónimo, amigo de Holly, la novela nos habla de la vida de la alta clase de Nueva York en los años 40's y 50's, y de como la frivolidad que no deja espacio para el amor.
