Public ISBD Titre : A Capote reader Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Truman Capote Editeur : London [England] : Penguin Books Année de publication : 2002 Collection : Penguin classics Importance : vi, 722 p Présentation : couv. ill. en coul. Format : 20 cm ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 978-0-14-118530-9 Note générale : First published: Hamish Hamilton, 1987 -- verso of t.p. Langues : Anglais Catégories : LITTERATURE ET LANGUE ANGLAISE:429 Old english ; LITTERATURE ET LANGUE ANGLAISE:828 English literature Mots-clés : American literature  20th century. Résumé : Truman Capote began writing when he was eight and became one of America's most versatile and gifted authors. A Capote Reader contains much of his published work: his dazzling fiction, including Breakfast at Tiffany's, as well as his prolific output of short stories, travel sketches in which he evokes places from Tangiers to Brooklyn, portraits of his contemporaries such as Marlon Brando, Marilyn Monroe and Cecil Beaton, and his brilliant reportage and essays. His piece entitled 'The Muses are Heard', which recounts a trip to Communist Europe with the cast of Porgy and Bess, shows the chameleon-like talents of a literary legend.

Truman Capote's comprehensive study of the killings and subsequent investigation explores the circumstances surrounding this terrible crime and the effect it had on those involved. At the centre of his study are the amoral young killers Perry Smith and Dick Hickock, who, vividly drawn by Capote, are shown to be reprehensible, yet entirely and frighteningly human.
