Totally madcap, she has a partially furnished apartment, owns a cat with no name, gets rid of the "mean reds" by visiting Tiffany's, and is forever misplacing her door key, much to the dismay of her upstairs neighbor Mr. Yunioshi, a Japanese photographer. Holly makes her living in two ways: she receive $50 from her gentlemen escorts whenever she needs powder room money, and she is paid $100 for each weekly trip she makes to Sing Sing, where she visits Sally Tomato, an ex-mobster. One day Paul Varjak, a young writer who is supported by an older woman nicknamed "2-E," comes into Holly's life. Following one of Holly's wild cocktail parties, Paul unexpectedly meets Doc Golightly, a gentle Texan whom Holly married when she was only fifteen years old.

It only took moments to hook me. The first paragraph of Truman Capote's novella Breakfast at Tiffany's aptly foreshadows the intoxicating sensory imagery that distinguishes the text, making it a story I have returned to again and again: "I am always drawn back to places where I have lived, the houses and their neighborhoods.

When I first read Breakfast at Tiffany's, I knew very little about its actual plot. The only familiarity I had with the story was the knowledge that it was a movie -- which I had never seen -- starring Audrey Hepburn and a very long, black cigarette holder. The presence of the unknown surrounded the text and made it all the more intriguing. The very day I had receiv...
