About this listen
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 narrator’s emotional vulnerability to the forefront of this American classic.

Editors Select, February 2014 - Although very familiar with the iconic film, I'd never actually read the novella Breakfast at Tiffany's 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. Capote's 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. Hall's cadence perfectly matches Capote's words, and he forced me into my own whirlwind friendship with Holly. I'd never before experienced a narrator who seemed to so completely understand an author's intentions – the effect was magical. —Katie, Audible Editor
Critic Reviews
"[Michael C. Hall] uses his diligent attention to character to bring our unnamed narrator's emotional vulnerability to the forefront of this American classic.... I felt content and comfortable in Hall's hands as the tale unfolded. He did a wonderful job giving each character voice, especially that of Holly." (Caffeinated Book Reviewer)

Never cared much for the movie but...
Wow!
How could I've ever known that Dexter Morgan's narration of Breakfast at Tiffany's is what I wanted in my life?!

Interesting... what more?
The narrator is great though I'm not sure if the voice reserved for Holly goes even lightly like her. I was not able to visualise this character as the vice didn't quite seem like her.
The story and the language attracts attention and anyone aiming to write stories will find this one more than just amusing.

superb story, effectively narrated
This author's power of prose is so engaging and enjoyable that simple language is able to knit an excellent story so very well that it comes alive and makes reader/listener feel it happening in front of his eyes. Kudos to both Truman Capote and Michael C. Hall for producing a masterpiece.

Enjoyable listen
Micheal C Hall seems like an unlikely choice to read this book, as I was expecting it to be a romantic one. But it really isn't and Micheal does a great job.
As for the novella, it's a short listen and enjoyable one.
