Hall Format: Unabridged Length: 2 hrs and 52 mins Language: English Release date: 02-11-14 Publisher: Audible Studios Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 5734 votes Genres: Fiction, Literary Publisher's Summary: Golden Globe-winning actor Michael C. Hall (Six Feet Under) performs Truman Capote's provocative, naturalistic masterstroke about a young writer's charmed fascination with his unorthodox neighbor, the "American geisha" Holly Golightly. Holly - a World War II-era society girl in her late teens - survives via socialization, attending parties and restaurants with men from the wealthy upper class who also provide her with money and expensive gifts. Over the course of the novella, the seemingly shallow Holly slowly opens up to the curious protagonist, who eventually gets tossed away as her deepening character emerges. Breakfast at Tiffany's, Truman Capote's most beloved work of fiction, introduced an independent and complex character who challenged audiences, revived Audrey Hepburn's flagging career in the 1961 film version, and whose name and style has remained in the national idiom since publication. Hall uses his diligent attention to character to bring our unnamed narrators emotional vulnerability to the forefront of this American classic. Editorial Reviews: Editors Select, February 2014 - Although very familiar with the iconic film, Id never actually read the novella Breakfast at Tiffanys by Truman Capote. When I heard that actor Michael C. Hall (Six Feet Under) was narrating it for Audible, I jumped at the chance to listen. Capotes classic is simultaneously darker and more wistful than the film, and the famed Holly Golightly a little more calculating than charming. Michael C. Hall delivers a mesmerizing performance, giving each character their own unique voice. Halls cadence perfectly matches Capotes words, and he forced me into my own whirlwind friendship with Holly. Id never before experienced a narrator who seemed to so completely understand an authors intentions the effect was magical. Critic Reviews: "[Michael C. Hall] uses his diligent attention to character to bring our unnamed narrators emotional vulnerability to the forefront of this American classic.... I felt content and comfortable in Halls hands as the tale unfolded. He did a wonderful job giving each character voice, especially that of Holly." (Caffeinated Book Reviewer)
