Om författaren

Truman Capote, 1924 - 1984 Novelist and playwright Truman Streckfus Person was born in 1924 in New Orleans to a salesman and a 16-year-old beauty queen. His parents divorced when he was four years old and was then raised by relatives for a few years in Monroeville. His mother was remarried to a visa mer successful businessman, moved to New York, and Truman adopted his stepfather's surname. He attended Greenwich High School and never went to college. When he was 17, Capote's formal education ended when he was employed at The New Yorker magazine. He belived he did not need to go to college to be a writer, since he was writing seriously since age 11. Capote's first novel was "Other Voices, Other Rooms" (1948), which told the story of a boy growing up in the Deep South. "The Grass Harp" (1951) is about a young boy and his elderly cousin discovering that some compromise is necessary for people to live together in a community and was adapted to screen in 1996. The play "The House of Flowers" (1954) is a musical set in a West Indies bordello. Capote then wrote, "Breakfast at Tiffanys" (1958), which tells the story of how Holly Golightly goes to New York seeking happiness. Capote became preoccupied with journalism and, sparked by the murder of a wealthy family in Holcomb, Kansas, began interviewing the locals to recreate the lives of the murderers and their victims. The research and writing for this novel, "In Cold Blood" (1966), took six years for him to complete. Other works of Capote's include the classic "A Christmas Memory" (1966), which is an autobiographical account of a seven-year-old boy, his cousin, and an eccentric old lady, "Music for Chameleons" (1981), which is a collection of short pieces, interviews, stories and conversations that were published in several magazines, and "One Christmas" (1982). On August 26, 1984 in Los Angeles, Truman Capote died of liver disease complicated by phlebitis and multiple drug intoxication. Published after his death were "Conversations With Capote" (1985) and "Answered Prayers: The Untitled Novel" (1986). (Bowker Author Biography) visa färre

Frukost på Tiffany's av Truman Capote

En härlig liten bok. Spänstig i sitt berättande och jag gillar hur karaktärerna målas upp. Mycket bra!

Med kallt blod av Truman Capote

Förstår att detta betraktas som en klassiker. Fullständigt fenomenalt berättad och skrämmande historia. Man är på helspänn hela tiden och lever med historien dygnet runt medans man läser.

In cold blood av Truman Capote

Capote ville skapa en ny gangre: den dokumentära romanen ("non-fiction novel"). Och man får säga att han lyckades fint med "Med kallt blod", en historia om ett massmord.
Vi får oss till livs djuplodande porträtt av inte bara mördarna och offren, utan i princip alla figurer i handlingen beskrivs grundligt. Detta är för det mesta mycket bra gjort, men jag måste tillstå att då och då blir det lite långrandigt.
Så blir också de alltför ingående miljöskildringarna och utseendebeskrivningarna. Dessa är bara rent bjäfs som man ändå glömmer genast.

Författaren själv hävdade att varje ord i romanen var sant, men senare efterforskare har bestridigt detta... Capote skall visst ha skarvat lite och lagt till en del. Känns debatten igen?… (mer)
