For a very well crafted non-fiction that should be an example to writers - “In Cold Blood”.
Chilling!
In Cold Blood is incredibly well written.
In Cold Blood was a game-changer of 20th-century literature. He never won a prize because they didn’t have a category for a book that wasn’t exactly fiction and wasn’t exactly factual. Such a bell-weather for the 20th century. What is fact and what is fiction? Without Truman Capote, those girls in high school wouldn’t be reading historical faction and thinking that it is the real thing. Book clubs wouldn’t be able to rant about the emotions of someone they never knew and modern muckrakers wouldn’t stand a chance of continuing the practice of 19th-century yellow journalism.
