Review
In this riveting biography, Clarke, former TIME writer, depicts the sad sequence of sparkling achievements and overwhelming despair that marked the life of Truman Capote. Readers will be dazzled both by the life lived and the compelling skill with which Clarke brings it before us. (PUBLISHERS WEEKLY)
Mr. Clarke makes one feel at last as if one really understands Mr. Capote. (NEW YORK TIMES)
[An] extremely readable biography. (SUNDAY HERALD)
Clarke's extremely readable biography cleverly tells Capote's story in the manner of the 'non-fiction novel (mode Capote developed in IN COLD BLOOD.’)
Book Description
* A fascinating exploration of the troubled life of one of America's greatest writers.

Cloth. Condition: Near Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. First Edition. Capote: A Biography Hardback First Edition light wear to d/j now in removable cover, Truman Capote was one of the best writers of his generation, a superb and almost matchless stylist. His short stories made him a literary celebrity while still in his teens, and for the next thirty years he was a comet of genius, fame, and finally self-destruction. His first novel, Other Voices, Other Rooms, published in 1948, was followed ten years later by Breakfast at Tiffany s, which introduced to the world one of American literature s most endearing heroines, the irrepressible Holly Golightly. In the 1960s came the phenomenal success of In Cold Blood, a true-crime story whose novelistic techniques have influenced non-fiction writers ever since. A much-sought-after dinner guest among the rich and famous, Capote reciprocated in 1966 with a party that made headlines, his black-and-white ball at Manhattan s Plaza Hotel. The trauma of researching and writing In Cold Blood had shaken him, however, and even as he reached the heights, Capote was beginning a losing battle with drugs and alcohol. In 1975 he published a chapter from an uncompleted novel, Answered Prayers, in Esquire magazine. The unflattering, thinly disguised portraits of some of his rich friends provoked a furious reaction, and the comet that had risen so swiftly fell even faster. Capote died in 1984, just short of his sixtieth birthday. Capote s is an astonishing story, and Gerald Clarke s biography, first published in 1988, tells it in all its many dimensions. Based on hundreds of hours of interviews with Capote himself, as well as interviews with nearly everyone else who knew him, it is now recognized as a masterpiece of literary art 632 pp, text throughout and B/W photographs.(We carry a wide selection of titles in The Arts, Theology, History, Politics, Social and Physical Sciences. academic and scholarly books and Modern First Editions ,and all types of Academic Literature.).
