  …reading classic story about childhood christmas memories and gift-giving

  “It's Truman Capote's story, A Christmas Memory, about his own childhood growing up in rural Alabama in the 1920s and 30s. It's simultaneously this intimate and complicated portrait of somebody that he loved. But it's also a picture of Christmas and of a time and place in America which almost feels like another country.”
