Synopsis
The iconic author of In Cold Blood and Breakfast at Tiffany’s comes to life in Conversations with Capote , written by veteran interviewer Lawrence Grobel. Truman Capote knew from the age of eleven that he wanted to be a writer, and was published by his early twenties. He went on to pen some of the most beloved plays, novels, and short stories in twentieth century literature. Capote’s work, along with his flamboyant and charismatic personality, made him a beloved literary and cultural legend.
In this compelling book, Capote speaks candidly about his tumultuous childhood and early fame, his bouts with drugs and alcohol, his romantic relationships, and his work. He also shares his pointed thoughts on some of the most well known figures of our time, including Jacqueline Onassis, J.D. Salinger, Norman Mailer, Tennessee Williams, Elizabeth Taylor, and Marilyn Monroe. This definitive, in-depth interview is a compelling read and a must-have for all fans of Capote’s work.
