Truman Capote Research Paper

Truman Capote was born in New Orleans, Louisiana, on September 30, 1924. His parents were an odd pair, a small-town girl Lillie Mae and a schemer called Arch. They largely neglected their son when he was young, and often leaving him in the care of others. Capote spent much of his childhood in the care of his mother's relatives. He grew up in a small town and he also described the setting of In Cold Blood as a countryside with a small population. Capote did not attend college. Instead, he published a few famous short stories and novels, like "Other Voices, Other Rooms" and "Breakfast at Tiffany's". Finally, after living in Europe for many years, he returned to the United States and hoped to compose "an epic nonfiction novel." And that book was
In Cold Blood. In 1959, Capote noticed a mysterious murder of a Kansas ranch family on newspaper. He decided that was a perfect story for him to write about. He spent five years of time research followed, talked to the townspeople, followed the police investigation and even the final appeals process until the execution of Hickock and Smith in 1965. Eventually, this book published in January 1966, that was a highly acclaimed novel loved by many schoolchildren and inmates. According to Capote, every word of In Cold Blood is true. Capote is one of the 20th century's most well-known writers, but also the most notorious writers of his time. His overt homosexuality and his wit, knockout opinions kept him on television as a major personality. And his book also full of ironies, also there is a complicated relationship exist between Perry and Dick.
