It's been a while since I read Capote's A Christmas Story but I wonder if it has been dramatized. I can see it becoming a holiday staple.

Yes, Polly, it’s been dramatized on both stage and screen, deservedly. A wonderful story!

Thank you for letting me know! I also recommend if you haven’t seen it the movie “Infamous” in which Toby Jones plays Capote, Sandra Bullock Harper Lee, Daniel Craig Perry Smith, and Sigourney Weaver Babe Paley. I so much preferred it to “Capote” in which Phillip Seymour Hoffman portrayed Capote, as gifted as he was.

My pleasure! Thanks for reading. I've always liked Parker, but she re-entered my life, too, after I became a professional critic and realized how many other reviewers she also inspired.
