Truman Capote Explains the Non-Fiction Novel (1966)

Stumble ThisEccentric writer Truman Capote explains his writing style for In Cold Blood. If you haven't read In Cold Blood you should. I just recently finished it after watching the movie Capote starring Phillip Seymour Hoffman and was blown away at how skilled a writer Capote was while drafting that reportage as he puts.

Great find (even for a wall-eye).
The truth is, that was his one and only novel.
He was a great writer, but regarding In Cold Blood he had access to material that surpassed fiction.
A profound work. But that was the only novel he ever wrote.
(not that I wouldn't chew an arm off to do the same)
Yes. Truman Capote was a pretty good writer. I guess.
Perhaps in April...in the morning....
Have you never heard of "Breakfast at Tiffany's"?
He also wrote another bestseller after "In Cold Blood" based on the same Nonfiction Novel concept called "Music for Chameleons"
I don't know what you're getting at with this crap about "in April in the morning". I would put him up there with Samuel Clemens.
