Minority View
If Truman Capote were alive today, he'd be thrilled about the latest (July 2008) issue of Italian Vogue. All the fashion pictures use black women models. It's Vogue's way of saying: Hey don't forget about this particular minority. They're still available to wear your ...

Enchanting
This was my first taste of Truman Capote away from Breakfast at Tiffany's, and I have to admit that I was blown away by these stories. Rarely does a story pull at my heart strings anymore, but these stories practically left me in tears. Incredibly moving.

Anarachy in the heartland : an American story
An excellent piece of investigative journalism. Although called the first "non-fiction novel" I don't consider it a novel. To do so would suppose that journalism is objective, it is not, and anyway by most accounts Capote mostly got it right. It's gripping journalism, ...

The real Breakfast at Tiffany's
The book is far more interesting than the movie... if you liked the movie you'll love the book.

A Small Jewel!
Just finished reading "Breakfast at Tiffany's" and let out a long sigh right after with a smile on my face. The ending may not necessarily be your typical happy-ending, nonetheless it is delightful. It was a re-read for me, for about like the 4th time and every time I ...

A Miracle of Writing: Capote's Genius at Full Throttle
[I wrote this review in 1999 as "A Reader." I hope more people read it and read this book.] For years I've known about this work but never read it until now. I've been fishing about in contemporary fiction, looking for something entertaining, enlightening, and ...

Truman Capote's 'In Cold Blood' is enjoying a resurgence of popularity thanks to the Oscar-winning film depicting the author's life and work during the writing of this phenomenal piece. At one point in the film, the character Capote makes the statement that when he ...

extraordinary small jewels
Truman Capote was a brilliant, eccentric novelist and author of a shocking at the time of its publication, documentary fiction book "In Cold Blood". And although he is famous for these works, his short stories are equally captivating and original. They are small ...

In his own words
In the truest sense of the word, Truman Capote is a wordsmith. Even before looking at the context of a story, I am amazed by Capote's ability to to craft words together in a sentence for a powerful meaning. While I wish I had half of his writing talent, I also wish ...
My Sister's Hand in Mine: The Collected Works of Jane Bowles
Jane Bowles
Farrar, Straus and Giroux

Read it
Incredible book. Jane Bowles has the unique characteristic of amusing and depressing us at the same time. Two serious ladies and her short fiction(Camp Catarat and Plain Pleasures are masterpieces) are unique. Her play is funny but she is not as good as in her ...

Unanswered gems
Although "Answered Prayers" can be read as dated since most of it's "characters" live in the 1960's and 1970's, there is still marvelous prose and stories that pique the interest. Capote had promised to complete several short stories for this tome, but this collection ...

Pwerful perspectives from a young Capote
I'm largely writing to add some stars to the rating for this book. Fascinating to see how Capote started off his writing career. The characters and story stem from a youthful perspective, yet are rich and mature in their depth, complexity and subtlety. If you are ...

Truman Capote
Penguin Classics
, 2000
Holly Golightly, glittering socialite traveller, generally upwards, sometimes sideways and once in a while down. She's up all night drinking cocktails and breaking hearts. She's a shoplifter, a delight, a drifter, and a tease. She hasn't got a past. She doesn't want to belong to anything or anyone. Not to 'Rusty' Trawler, the blue-chinned, ...
Other Voices, Other Rooms (Modern Library)
Truman Capote

Published when Truman Capote was only twenty-three years old, Other Voices, Other Rooms is a literary touchstone of the mid-twentieth century. In this semiautobiographical coming-of-age novel, thirteen-year-old Joel Knox, after losing his mother, is sent from New Orleans to live with the father who abandoned him at birth. But when Joel arrives ...
