In 2014, more than fifty years after they were taken, the original photographs commissioned to illustrate the piece have been discovered by the photographer's son. Also found among the negatives were portraits of Capote taken on that same day; none of the photos have ever been published. Now, in a new edition with a new title, Brooklyn : A Personal Memoir, with the lost photographs of David Attie, the words and images will be united for the first time. The images of Brooklyn provide a stunning and atmospheric visual portrait of the city in 1959--its building, shops, street life, lost moments-- a Brooklyn at once strangely familiar yet largely vanished: horse-drawn wagons delivering produce to housewives, kids swimming in the East River and getting into mischief on the docks, dimly-lit bars, vintage signs, little girls jumping rope, bricklayers, barbers, neighborhood characters, all set against a backdrop of period architecture, that spectacular bridge, and the skyline of Manhattan. The essay itself brings to life the landscape that was for the author a world of grand homes and dimly recalled gentility, of mysterious warehouses and menacing street thugs, a garden overhung with wisteria, and the famous Promenade and waterfront--all rendered in his deft and stylish prose. Originally commissioned for Holiday magazine by John Knowles (later the author of A Separate Peace), the piece remained one of his favorites--especially its surprise ending. At the time, George Plimpton wrote that in the essay, Capote's 'love of history, gossip, character, and a skill at putting all this to words...brings Brooklyn Heights to life as vividly as any landscape Truman ever undertook to survey.' David Attie's photos enhance that landscape in a breathtaking way"-- |cProvided by publisher. 600 10 Capote, Truman, |d1924-1984 |xHomes and haunts |zNew York (State) |zNew York. |=^A633907 600 17 Capote, Truman, |d1924-1984. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst00042417 |?UNAUTHORIZED 651 0 Brooklyn Heights (New York, N.Y.) |vBiography. |=^A1281562 650 0 Authors, American |y20th century |vBiography. |=^A414805 651 0 Brooklyn Heights (New York, N.Y.) |vPictorial works. |=^A1281562 651 0 Brooklyn Heights (New York, N.Y.) |xIntellectual life |y20th century. |=^A1281562 651 0 Brooklyn Heights (New York, N.Y.) |xSocial life and customs |y20th century. |=^A1281562 651 0 New York (N.Y.) |vBiography. |=^A417189 651 0 New York (N.Y.) |vPictorial works. |=^A454268 651 0 New York (N.Y.) |xIntellectual life |y20th century. |=^A254420 651 0 New York (N.Y.) |xSocial life and customs |y20th century. |=^A322425 650 7 PHOTOGRAPHY / Photoessays & Documentaries. |2bisacsh 650 7 BIOGRAPHY & AUTOBIOGRAPHY / Personal Memoirs. |2bisacsh 650 7 TRAVEL / United States / Northeast / Middle Atlantic (NJ, NY, PA) |2bisacsh 650 7 Authors, American. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst00821764 650 7 Homes. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01353235 650 7 Intellectual life. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst00975769 650 7 Manners and customs. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01007815 651 7 New York (State) |zNew York. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01204333 |?UNAUTHORIZED 651 7 New York (State) |zNew York |zBrooklyn Heights. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01315572 |?UNAUTHORIZED 648 7 1900 - 1999 |2fast 655 7 Pictorial works. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01423874 700 1 Attie, David. |=^A106216 949 |i30372016606763 |ojjlm 960 |o1 |s29.95 |tJoyner48 |uJAPP |zUSD 596 1 998 4371860
