About the author

Truman Capote

American writer who invented the nonfiction novel with In Cold Blood, his meticulous reconstruction of a Kansas family murder. Breakfast at Tiffany's made him a celebrity; his unfinished Answered Prayers alienated the social world he had cultivated. He is the supreme stylist of American midcentury prose.
