So here's the deal...behind the paper is my take on Truman Capote's childhood kitchen, the place where he (six at the time) and his elderly distant cousin (who was his best friend) made fruitcakes every Christmas. The table is set and ready with the ingredients to make the fruitcakes in question-
And I invite you to help me make these fruitcakes (and paper cats- more on that later)
MONDAY, DECEMBER 21 7PM AT THE NYACK CENTER
these fruitcakes will then be doused in whiskey for the next few weeks and hanging out in the window until they are dispersed throughout the Village of Nyack in "random acts of fruitcake"...again, more on that later...
Projected in the background are scenes I edited from the film version of the book (which I sadly do NOT recommend) where they are gathering ingredients and in the throes of "fruticaking"...
I canNOT urge you enough to take less than 30 minutes to treat yourself and read this gem...If you happen to live in the neighborhood- pass by the window Monday- Friday and read a new page of the book displayed in the window...or if you'd like to hear Truman Capote read it click here.
check in for details in the coming days...
Pass by the window Monday- Friday to read a new page of the book...
a blurry picture of my take on Truman Capote's childhood kitchen from A Christmas Memory...it's really much better in person...
