New York, NY: McGraw-Hill Book Company, 1987. First edition. First printing [stated]. Hardcover. Very good in very good dust jacket. DJ has slight wear and soiling.. [8], 275, [5] p. Illustration. Index. Truman Streckfus Persons (September 30, 1924 August 25, 1984), known as Truman Capote was an American author, screenwriter, playwright, actor, many of whose short stories, novels, plays, and nonfiction are recognized literary classics, including the novella Breakfast at Tiffany's (1958) and the true crime novel In Cold Blood (1966), which he labeled a "nonfiction novel." At least 20 films and television dramas have been produced of Capote novels, stories, and plays. He had discovered his calling as a writer by the age of 11, and for the rest of his childhood he honed his writing ability. Capote began his professional career writing short stories. The critical success of one story, "Miriam" (1945), attracted the attention of Bennett Cerf, and resulted in a contract to write the novel Other Voices, Other Rooms (1948). Capote earned the most fame with In Cold Blood, about the murder of a Kansas family. Capote spent four years writing the book aided by his friend Harper Lee.
