Yachts and Things

By: Truman Capote

Narrated by: Victor Bevine

Capote's previously lost and unpublished tale "Yachts and Things" was recently discovered by Vanity Fair contributing editor Sam Kasher in the Manuscripts and Archives Division of the New York Public Library. Written at the height of his career and socialite life, this short, thinly-veiled work of fiction tells the story of two friends about to take an "idyllic three-week cruise in the Mediterranean aboard a friend's chartered yacht".

Fresh !

Very short. Would be best added to a larger collection but dripping with Truman all the same

Short but nice

I wish he’d had time to write more of the story. This would have been a good tale.

A Delicious Snippet

Nothing but brevity to bemoan. Let’s hope more is discovered! Here’s to scholarship continued! Thank you.

delightful

So much delight packed into this wonderful little gem of a story. Reminds me of why I love Truman.

Pure Capote

Frivolous, snarky and a little sleazy, this lost piece of fluff is pure Capote. If you are fascinated by the mystery of Answered Prayers’ missing chapters -this is a must.
