4. well she was his aunt

but not the Cousin Sook featured in the story.

5. Oopsies. I must be blending A Christmas Story with the bio I read.

Thanks. :-)

[MonkeyFunk]

6. well either way

she was a hoot and a half.

Sook died when Capote was still pretty young - it's how "A Christmas Memory" ends.

7. I read this enormous very detailed bio of his, which included a lot about his

growing up and his family - including his aunts and cousins. It was a good read, though it took forever, but I have to admit it's all muddled up in my memory now.

8. which one was it, do you know?

The Plimpton one or the Gerald Clarke one?

[mondo joe]

9. yup!

Gerald Clarke's: http://www.amazon.com/Capote-Gerald-Clarke/dp/0345360788/ref=sr_1_8?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1207711800&sr=1-8
