One of my favorite books ever. The way Capote "constructed" the story are the best I've ever read.

Then there is the image in my head of a little Manhattan odd ball like Truman rattling around this small town. ;-)

Kansans still angry about Capote's "In Cold Blood."

What goes around comes around.

Kansans should feel gratified that Capote got his, years later.

He was the darling of the social set...hobnobbing with all of the rich and famous......held the famous Black And White Ball.

Then a chapter from his unfinished book "Answered Prayers" was published.

His friends discovered he had published gossipy items they had told him in strict confidence.

They cut him off ....and Capote never recovered. A rerun of his appearance on late night TV was not very pretty....he was obviously drugged up and incoherent. He died a broken man.
