Book Description: John Wiley & Sons, 2007. Paperback. Book Condition: New. 147mm x 21mm x 228mm. "A tantalizing aperitif?a confection of a book." ?"Cleveland Plain Dealer" "One of the best reads of the season." ?Billy Norwich, "Vogue" In "Party of the Century," Deborah Davis transports readers back to the Oz-like splendor of New York in 1966, where Truman Capote, at the pinnacle of his fame after the huge bestsellerdom of In Cold Blood, threw himself the party to end all parties. Everyone who was anyone wanted an invitation to Capote's "Black and White Dance," to which the guests were instructed to wear masks and just two colors?black and white. The glittering roster of guests included newlyweds Frank Sinatra and Mia Farrow, the young actress Candice Bergen, writers Norman Mailer and William F. Buckley, various international crowned heads, Kennedys, Rockefellers, Vanderbilts, and Whitneys, and style divas Babe Paley, Slim Keith, and C. Z. Guest. In this vivid and delightful narrative, Deborah Davis chronicles the social whirl of the preparation and the anticipation leading up to the party, plus the drama and excitement of the ball itself. Lavishly illustrated with photographs and drawings of the guests and their extravagant costumes, masks, and jewels designed by the likes of Halston and Adolfo, this portrait of revelry at the height of the swirling, swinging, turbulent sixties is a must for anyone interested in American popular culture and the lifestyles of the rich, famous, and talented. "Captures the spirit and significance of the occasion with new material and fresh perspective, making this a party worth crashing." ?"Town & Country" "Vastly entertaining." ?Liz Smith "A stylish, sparkling little volume." ?"The Sunday Times" BookReview (London) 293 pages.
