truman capote

truman capote , a New Orleans native, was born

on September 30, 1924. His first novel, Other Voices, Other Rooms,

was an international literary success when first published in 1948,

and accorded the author a prominent place among the writers

of America’s postwar generation. He subsequently sustained

this position with short-story collections (A Tree of Night,

among others), novels and novellas (The Grass Harp and Break-

fast at Tiffany’s), some of the best travel writing of our time

(Local Color), profiles and reportage that appeared originally

in The New Yorker (The Duke in His Domain and The Muses

Are Heard), a true-crime masterpiece (In Cold Blood), several

short memoirs about his childhood in the South (A Christ-

mas Memory, The Thanksgiving Visitor, and One Christmas), two

plays (The Grass Harp and House of Flowers), and two films

(Beat the Devil and The Innocents). His final, unfinished novel,

Answered Prayers, was published posthumously, as was an early

novel, Summer Crossing. Too Brief a Treat, a selection of his let-

ters, was published in 2004, along with his Complete Stories.

Mr. Capote twice won the O. Henry Memorial Short Story

Prize and was a member of the National Institute of Arts and

Letters. He died in August 1984, shortly before his sixtieth

birthday.
