In 2001, Truman Capote s stylish homage to Brooklyn was brought back into print, but not until 2014 more than fifty years after they were taken were the original photographs commissioned to illustrate the essay discovered by the late photographer s son. Also found among the negatives were previously unknown portraits of Capote; none of the photos had ever been published. Now, with the publication of "Brooklyn: A Personal Memoir, with the lost photographs of David Attie," the words and images are united for the first time. With an introduction by George Plimpton and afterword by Eli Attie."
