A decent collection of short stories. They aren't quite up to the brilliance of Truman Capote's later works and are for the most part rather unmemorable, but considering how young he was when he wrote them, they're really not bad. They're certainly better than what I wrote in my teens, although “Snuggle Bear Fights the Terrorists” was quite the hit in freshman English.

Yes, if you're a die-hard fan, they're definitely worth a read! I think this was the last of his "early" and posthumous books I had left. None of them came anywhere near his peak-career stuff for me, but I'm still glad I read them. 🙂
