Of stories that make you cry.

I have this book which is a compilation of the "best tales" according to Julio Cortázar, who is my favourite latinamerican author.  Well, among the stories, I found "A Christmas Memory" by Truman Capote.

I cried when I finished it.  This rarely happens.  It was just beautiful.

Can you believe that in my long years I have never read anything my Truman Capote? Must remedy that.

Looking forward to seeing you so we can talk about this.

This is the first story by him that I read, I even read it in Spanish, but it was just too beautiful. We have to talk about it, yes.

I read it a long time ago, and it is a very poignant story about the way people touch each other's lives. The TV adaptation was good, too.

It was very moving, and it's like you can even feel the boy's pain when he recalls her. I heard the TV adaptation was good, gotta look for it. ^^
