Book First Edition
Condition: Gut. Deutsche Erstausgabe. 261 (3) Seiten. 21 cm. Umschlagentwurf: H. + C. Waldvogel. Guter Zustand. Es sollte sein Opus magnum werden, ein schonungsloses Sittenbild proustscher Dimension doch Capote konnte und wollte es nicht abschließen. Gleichwohl ist Erhörte Gebete sein konsequentestes Werk, eine giftgesättigte Abrechnung mit der feinen Gesellschaft. Hier schildert Capote die Reichen und Mächtigen, die Verrückten und Verruchten, all jene, die ihn jahrelang als ihr Schoßhündchen betrachtet hatten. Als das erste Kapitel des Schlüsselromans Mitte der Siebzigerjahre in Esquire abgedruckt wurde, erkannten Capotes Freunde, dass das Schoßhündchen durchaus auch zubeißen konnte: Plötzlich waren ihre intimsten Geheimnisse - vom Seitensprung bis zum vertuschten Mord - schwarz auf weiß nachzulesen. "Es ist sehr schwierig, Gentleman und Schriftsteller zu sein", hat W. Somerset Maugham einmal bemerkt. Mit Erhörte Gebete entschied sich Capote eindeutig für Letzteres. - Truman Capote ['tru?m?n k?'po?ti] (* 30. September 1924 in New Orleans; 25. August 1984 in Los Angeles, geboren als Truman Streckfus Persons) war ein US-amerikanischer Schriftsteller, Schauspieler und Drehbuchautor. Leben: . Der literarische Durchbruch gelang ihm 1945, als verschiedene Zeitschriften seine Erzählungen My Side of the Matter (Wie ich die Dinge sehe), Miriam, Tree of Night (Baum der Nacht) und Jug of Silver (Der silberne Krug) veröffentlichten. Als bedeutendster Nachwuchsautor seiner Generation gelobt, erhielt er 1946 für Miriam und 1948 für Shut a Final Door (Schließ die Tür) den bedeutenden O.-Henry-Preis für englischsprachige Kurzgeschichten. Other Voices, Other Rooms (Andere Stimmen, andere Räume), das Romandebüt des gerade 23-jährigen Capote, wurde eine literarische Sensation, spaltete aber die Meinungen der Kritiker und wurde in den USA und Europa das meistdiskutierte Buch des Jahres 1948. Zu dieser Zeit beendete der homosexuelle Capote seine Affäre mit dem 24 Jahre älteren Literaturprofessor Newton Arvin und verbrachte die folgenden drei Jahrzehnte mit dem Schriftsteller Jack Dunphy. Sein zweiter Roman The Grass Harp (Die Grasharfe) erntete schließlich das uneingeschränkte Lob der Kritiker, die Capotes Talent mit dem anderer Südstaatenautoren wie Carson McCullers und William Faulkner verglichen. In den 1950er Jahren reiste Capote längere Zeit durch Europa. Während dieser Zeit versuchte er sich an literarischen Experimenten wie der Arbeit an Drehbüchern, Musicals und Reisebeschreibungen. Nach seinem weltweiten Erfolg mit Breakfast at Tiffany s (Frühstück bei Tiffany) reiste Capote mit seiner Jugendfreundin Harper Lee nach Kansas, wo er die Morde an einer Farmerfamilie recherchierte. Dieser Fall beschäftigte Capote über sechs Jahre, und er schuf aus diesem Stoff einen der ersten dokumentarischen Romane, In Cold Blood (Kaltblütig), der dem Reportagestil des New Journalism zugeordnet wird. Das Buch wurde 1966 zu einem Bestseller und löste eine Medienlawine aus, die in einer von Capote selbst in New York ausgerichteten Mega-Party gipfelte, dem legendären Black-&-White-Ball, zu dem er die 500 berühmtesten Persönlichkeiten der USA einlud. In kreativer Hinsicht jedoch war der 45-jährige Capote erschöpft. Er tourte mit den Rolling Stones durch die USA, arbeitete erfolglos an Drehbüchern, wurde alkohol- und drogenabhängig und versank in zahllosen Affären, erlitt Nervenzusammenbrüche und Gefängnisaufenthalte. . Durch die Drogensucht verursachte Halluzinationen verfolgten ihn während seiner letzten Lebensjahre, die er über längere Zeiträume hinweg in Krankenhäusern und Sanatorien verbrachte. Am 25. August 1984 starb er einsam in Los Angeles an einer Überdosis Tabletten. Drei Jahre später erschien das Fragment Answered Prayers und 1988 schließlich die von Capote noch selbst autorisierte Biographie von Gerald Clarke. .

First Edition
Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Near Fine. 1st Edition. CAPOTE, Truman. Answered Prayers: The Unfinished Novel. London: Hamish Hamilton, 1986. First edition. Published posthumously, this book is perhaps the most famous unfinished novel in American letters. Meant to be a great society novel exploring the same terrain as Proust did in his great masterwork of modernist literature, À la recherche du temps perdu, Answered Prayers shocked the New York society with the author s thinly-disguised revelations about the intimate lives of his swans , a group of rich and beautiful female friends, which included Babe Paley and Slim Keith. The protagonist is one P B Jones, promiscuous writer and shrewd hustler, who is probably the author s alter ego. His adventures take him from a louche bar in Tangiers to martini-soaked lunches at the famed New York restaurant, La Côte Basque, from literary salons to prostitution dens. Wonderfully sharp, witty and gossipy, this book is filled with beautiful and scandalous women, psychotic and sadistic husbands along with a real-life cast of characters such as Colette, the Duchess of Windsor, Montgomery Clift, Tallulah Bankhead, Jackie Kennedy Onassis and her sister, Lee Radziwill. 8vo. ISBN: 9780241119624. 181 pp. Very good in dust jacket. Pages browned. Dust jacket design by Craig Dodd; photograph of the author to rear face of dust jacket by Irving Penn.
