In Cold Blood from Vintage Price: $10.40 Customer Review:  Truman Capote essentially creates the nonfiction novel here in the harrowing "In Cold Blood." He vividly recounts the horrific murders of the Clutter family, the capture of Perry Smith and Dick Hickock, and their subsequent trial. It is known Mr. Capote had extensive contact with pretty much all... |

A Christmas Memory, One Christmas, & The Thanksgiving Visitor (Modern Library) from Modern Library Price: $10.47 Customer Review: "A Christmas Memory, One Christmas, & The Thanksgiving Visitor" are a wonderful trio of short stories, combined into a lovely book. Truman Capote wrote my favorite book, "The Grass Harp," so I was looking forward to these three stories and I was not let down. Each story is full of warmth, love,... |

Breakfast at Tiffany's (First Vintage International) from Vintage Price: $9.60 Customer Review: I re-read this book and was pleased to find that I wasn't wrong about it the other million times I read it. Truman Capote is one of my favorite authors and Breakfast at Tiffany's is my all-time favorite American classic. I don't read about Holly Golightly, I absorb this unique, eccentric character.... |

This is by far the most wonderful cook book i have ever seen in my entire life. I was also able to read other of Rudisills books and she is one of the best writers there is and has ever been. Two thumbs up to Rudisill on the Jay Leno... |

The Grass Harp (First Vintage International) from Vintage Price: $9.60 Customer Review: I picked this up, thinking it was going to be something like Capote's other book, OTHER VOICES, OTHER ROOMS, or McCrae's THE BARK OF THE DOGWOOD, but it wasn't. What I got instead was a great piece of Capote's life, told in a sweet manner, leaving out his angst and sometimes bitterness. There was a... |

THE DOGS BARK from Random House Customer Review: The Dogs Bark, Capote's compilation of his travel pieces and personal sketches, was written across twenty plus years. It is necessarily uneven. The brief sketches of varying locales and locals gives the reader the feelling of sitting at a wine tasting rather than an entire feast. Some pieces have... |

Marilyn Monroe: Photographs 1945-1962 (Schirmer's Visual Library) from W. W. Norton & Company Price: $11.16 Customer Review: A small book containing a plethora of beautiful photographs, some of which I've seen nowhere else (the Halsman "leaping" shots, for example). Truman Capote's essay at the beginning also reveals a raunchy, funny Marilyn rarely seen in other writings. Marilyn had such a wide variety of friends in New... |

Answered Prayers : The Unfinished Novel (Vintage International) from Vintage Price: $9.60 Customer Review: First of all, let me say this: I am a Truman Capote fanatic, an absolute Truman Capote maniac. I read "Answered Prayers" when I was in the 11th grade, and I was so angry that he died before he could finish it. I devour Capote's work as though it were an edible delicacy, or as though it were a lunar... |

Southern Christmas: Literary Classics of the Holidays (Christmas) from Hill Street Pres Price: $11.17 Customer Review: At last a collection which reveals the many faces of Christmas in the South. Too many anthologies about Christmas show only the sweet and often unrealistic side of Christmas. For those who have both laughed at absurdities and cried at frustrations on this day, this anthology is for you. Twenty-eight... |

Music for Chameleons (Vintage International) from Vintage Price: $10.40 Customer Review: From each country I visit, I buy a book as a souvenir. While on interrail this summer, I stumbled over the "Music for Chameleons" in Prague. I have not read a lot of Capote, but nevertheless, this must be Capote at his best. His writing is simple and direct, yet beautiful and elegant. In a way,... |

Marlon Brando: Portraits and Film Stills 1946-1995 from Stewart Tabori & Chang Customer Review: They say that there is a very thin line between that of the genius and the maniac. As for Mr. Brando this is definetely true. The interview with Capote is very akward and he seems as cynical as Holden Caufield and this by itself is not a good thing. Marlon Brando : Portraits and Film Stills... |

A House on the Heights from Little Bookroom Price: $11.87 Customer Review: I rated this one four stars because I can't help compare it to my two personal favourites, 'Music For Chameleons' and 'In Cold Blood.' Nonetheless, this book has all the beautiful Capote observations in it as well. Whenever Capote describes something or someone I am completely amazed. The visuals... |

I found myself thinking of this book long after I had finished it. The character development of Holly Golightly is what makes this book a masterpiece. She is... |

A Capote Reader from Random House Customer Review: I think the test of Truman Capote as a writer is the section of this book called 'Portraits', sketches and longer pieces on the famous: actors, writers, photographers, fashion designers etc. These are generally priceless. The long article on Marlon Brando, for example, captures the enigmatic... |
