12 Thanksgiving stories

Truman Capote's "The Thanksgiving Visitor" was published as a short story in 1967 and later expanded. "Apart from the odd constellation of family," writer Lynell George told us, she liked "this lovely detail of the napkins and tablecloths being prepared for Thanksgiving dinner -- Miss Sook in bed with a pile of napkins and needle and thread repairing the tears and holes."
