Absolutely fascinating! I knew nothing of Truman Capote other than that he wrote 'In Cold Blood'. Now, I don't think it's possible to know more. I loved the style in which this bio is written. An oral history. Reminded me of the other Plimpton book 'Edie'. Both subjects had very similar lives. These photos were not how I pictured Truman before but how I see him now.

I love Plimpton's gossipy biographies. #booksandbrew #nonfictionnovember
