Yet another reason why The New York Times is a great newspaper
I love the Times. I just filled out an email reader survey for them, but it was only about cultural events. (I told them I liked the gossipy stories — Just how sick is James Levine?). They didn't give me a chance to say nice things about the part of the paper I currently love the most: the serialization of Truman Capote's Breakfast at Tiffany's.
Every day this week, the Times is sending us a nice-sized portion of the book. It's just the right length to read over coffee. It's a great format: big print, wide margins, the size of the Book Review — very soothing. The writing is wonderful, there's no advertising, and it feels like a gift to readers from the newspaper.
They've done this before, with The Great Gatsby and at least one other book. But this is the first time I've experienced it, and I think it's great.
I can't link to it. You'll just have to go out and buy the paper.
