A Christmas Memory2Introduction:“A Christmas memory” is a short story authored by Truman Capote back in 1963. It is a critically acclaimed story that revolves around two friends with over six decades of age gap between them. The writing revolves around the beauty, simplicity and the genuineness of their friendship. The book is largely autobiographical narrated from the standpoint of a seven year old living with his best friend and distant cousin who is an elderly lady. ‘A Christmas memory’ has often been recorded, played and acted in theatres and movies by various leading production houses across the globe.Every day and everydayness is a theory given by one of the finest philosophers of his time Henri Lefebvre. He pioneered this particular theory in 1930s where he defined everyday as an intersection between the truth and illusion, power and helplessness and most importantly every day is the intersection between what man can control and what he cannot.

However, Capote in his writings has successfully challenges this aspect of his theory by displaying unconditional and effortless love between thesetwo friends. In this essay we would be discussing various incidents that challenge this theory.1 “Every day and Everydayness.” Word Press. 17 September 2012. https://cityfantasy.wordpress.com/2012/09/17/the-everyday-and-everydayness-lefebvre/.
