Truman Capote was a really weird little fellow but he sure could write.
I agree with you on Capote. My first exposure was “In Cold Blood”. Rereading some of the paragraphs I could see what artistry went into the sentence structure and words carefully chosen to create a scene, emotion or action. The man painted a paragraph like a great artist using an easel.
Capote wrote a few Christmas stories. Most people will never read them. They are my favorite stories by Capote.
