Sinossi
Un condensato delle esperienze di Capote, dei suoi incontri con i grandi personaggi della letteratura internazionale, da Cocteau a Gide, da Pound, Louis Armstrong, Marlon Brando, Marilyn Monroe a un membro della Banda Manson, passando per due gemelle siamesi che raccontano le loro esperienze sessuali. E poi i luoghi dei suoi viaggi e, qualche volta, come in filigrana, la genesi dei suoi capolavori. Una testimonianza rara e rivelatrice della vita di un autore di grande successo, scritta e narrata in un testo fluido, curatissimo, che si legge come se si ascoltasse un amico che ci racconta le sue avventure.

This book is full of examples of the wonderful ways Capote had of creating art with words. His genius really shines here.
Love Truman Capote’s writing. Fascinating. He packs more into a short story than almost any other. Often haunting, with moments that linger in the aftermath.
I was introduced to Capote’s oeuvre, as is so often the case, when my high school psychology teacher instructed me to read In Cold Blood for a personal assignment. I had bonded with Mr. Christopher over a number of things including our mutual love of American literature and my passing interest in mi Leggi tutto
