Capote's ‘A Christmas Memory’ to Be Read at Amagansett Library

Christian Scheider will read Truman Capote’s holiday short story “A Christmas Memory” on Sunday afternoon at 1:30 at the Amagansett Library. The largely autobiographical tale, first published in Mademoiselle magazine in 1956, takes place in the 1930s and tells the story of a 7-year-old boy and an elderly woman who is his distant cousin and best friend.

Mr. Scheider is an actor, filmmaker, and theater director who lives in Los Angeles and on the East End. He is currently working with Tucker Marder and the BBC’s Dale Templar on the feature comedy film “Animal Party.”
