Toni Morrison's speech has one particular word that captured my attention, "chaos". The universe so wide, so infinite his simple form of essence is chaos. Nevertheless, we couldn't say that this is his unique form; there is also "light" whose obviously is the contrast of chaos. Our universe, our world is full of these ambigous contrasts. However, the magic trick is that "reality" keeps these two essences in touch, no matter how far away you're in chaos you always have the opportunity to see the light and vice versa.
Breakfast at Tiffany's shows a world in one particular character, Holy Golightly. Holly's life throught the pages is a enormous chaos; her adventures, her fights, her reflections are continuously changing and getting so far from imagination until it gets to the point that you can see that her chaos is real and perhaps you could understand and feel his experience. But, Capote is the only key to understand this character, otherwise if we could find a holly walk down the street, we definitively wouldn't care a bit. For that reason, I belived Truman Capote "matchs" with Morrison's idea of writer because he was the light that illuminated the holly's chaos and because he built "the universe of invisibles meanings" that maintain my eyes through the pages of breakfast at tiffany's.
