Vintage Books has released a 50th anniversary edition of the classic "Breakfast at Tiffany's" by the man Norman Mailer called "the most perfect writer of my generation," Truman Capote. Those who have only seen the movie, a classic starring Audrey Hepburn as the irrepressible Holly Golightly, are missing half the joy of this unforgettable character — here, she is rougher-edged, more believable, but no less captivating. Capote's story was the "Sex and the City" of its generation, like that book and TV series based on real-life reminiscences of socialite New York.

FINAL WORD

"Don't eat food that won't eventually rot. Don't eat a packaged food with more than five ingredients. And don't eat anything with ingredients you can't pronounce."
