Capote

Based on hundreds of hours of interviews with the author, as well as with nearly everyone who knew him, this biography follows Capote from his eccentric childhood in Alabama to the heights of New York society. It also candidly recounts a gifted and celebrated writer's descent into the life of alcohol and drugs that would ultimately consume his bulldog spirit and staggering talent--but not before he'd hobnob with the likes of Grace Paley and Lee Radziwill, feud outrageously with Gore Vidal and Jacqueline Susann, and stage at New York's Plaza Hotel the sensational Black and White Ball.--From publisher description.

  • "When Gerald Clarke began writing his biography of Truman Capote, Truman told him, "I won't respect you unless you tell the whole truth." Based on hundreds of hours of interviews with Capote and with nearly everyone who knew him, as well as on Capote's personal papers, this frank, absorbing and definitive biography is the whole truth about one of the most colorfully controversial figures in the history of letters."

  • "Biografie van de Amerikaanse schrijver (1924-1984)."
  • "In 1959, Truman Capote was a popular writer for The New Yorker. He learns about the horrific and senseless murder of a family of four in Halcomb, Kansas. Inspired by the story, Capote and his partner, Harper Lee, travel to the town to do research for an article. However, as Capote digs deeper into the story, he is inspired to expand the project into what would be his greatest work, "In Cold Blood." He arranges extensive interviews with the prisoners, especially with Perry Smith. However, his feelings of compassion for Perry conflicts with his need for closure for his book which only an execution can provide. That conflict and the mixed motives for both interviewer and subject make for a troubling experience that would produce an literary account that would redefine modern non-fiction."@en

  • "Une biographie à l'américaine qui, selon Folch-Ribas, se lit avec passion, mais qui est centrée sur la toute petite histoire: "Capote au jour le jour, pris en filature par un inépuisable et épuisant détective" (F. Vitoux). A. Rinaldi renchérit en soulignant la "méticulosité flicarde" de M. Clarke et son intérêt excessif pour les turpitudes du jet-set new-yorkais. A lire avec précautions."
  • "Traces his life from his Alabama childhood, through his emergence as a postwar literary lion and his years as a confidante to the jet set, to his precipitous decline."@en
