Breakfast at Tiffany's by Truman Capote
A writer lives in a New York Brownstown. In the same building lives a socialite from Texas. They become friends, but also have fights. The girl spends a lot of time with older men, with that being her only source of income. She hopes to marry a rich man one day. There is one Brazilian that seems a good prospect. However, it all falls apart when she gets arrested as part of a drug ring. (She had regularly been visiting a mobster in prison.) Later, we learn she abandons her cat and tries to move to Brazil on her own. The story is told from the point of few of the unnamed man as he flashes back in the future after seeing a picture which seems to show her. This is a short novella that is well more known for the Audrey Hepburn movie.
