TRUMAN CAPOTE was born September 30, 1924, in New Orleans. After his parents’ divorce, he was sent to live with relatives in Monroeville, Alabama. It was here he would meet his lifelong friend, the author Harper Lee. With the 1948 publication of Other Voices, Other Rooms, Capote was catapulted onto the international literary scene and for nearly four decades was a fixture in New York literati and high society circles. Twice awarded the O. Henry Short Story Prize, Capote was also the recipient of a National Institute of Arts and Letters Creative Writing Award and an Edgar Award. Among his many celebrated works are the short-story collection The Grass Harp, the novella Breakfast at Tiffany’s, the memoirs A Christmas Memory and The Thanksgiving Visitor, and the true-crime masterpiece In Cold Blood. Capote died in 1984, just weeks shy of his sixtieth birthday.
Truman Capote’s first novel is a story of almost supernatural intensity and inventiveness, an audacious foray into the mind of a sensitive boy as he seeks out the grown-up enigmas of love and death in the ghostly landscape of the deep South.
At the age of twelve, Joel Knox is summoned to meet the father who abandoned him at birth. But when Joel arrives at the decaying mansion in Skully’s Landing, his father is nowhere in sight. What he finds instead is a sullen stepmother who delights in killing birds; an uncle with the face—and heart—of a debauched child; and a fearsome little girl named Idabel who may offer him the closest thing he has ever known to love.

杜魯門•卡波特(Truman Capote)1924年9月30日齣生於新奧爾良,原名杜魯門•斯特雷剋弗斯•珀森斯(Truman Streckfus Persons)。他的幼年生活因傢庭不寜深受影響。他先是被送到阿拉巴馬州的門羅維爾,由母親的親戚撫養;後父親因詐騙罪被監禁;再後父母離異,為...
評分2005年上映的傳記影片《卡波特》中,為瞭凸顯這位作傢的性格設置瞭很多細節,令我印象深刻的一條是開篇六分鍾裏,杜魯門·卡波特為瞭他的新書寫作邀請他兒時的朋友和玩伴,《殺死一隻知更鳥》的作者哈珀·李共同前往堪薩斯城調查一傢人的遇害事件。在火車上的包廂裏,當菲利普...
評分有些人好像天生就具有文學性,比如杜魯門.卡波特:他首先有個不快樂的童年,然後少年成名,齣入富貴圈,然後又被無情地一腳踢齣。這樣的人生,可以寫很多本自傳,或者自傳體小說。《彆的聲音》,《彆的房間》是他的處女作,但他一直否認這是一部自傳體小說,直到小說齣版20年後...
評分迷人,狂野,混亂,五彩繽紛!這就是卡波特的味道。準確說應該是24歲那會兒卡波特的味道。知道卡波特是因為讀瞭魯敏的評論卡波特的文章。記得說年輕的卡波特喜歡穿得跟鸚鵡一樣花哨又繽紛。也記得說他寫的《冷血》無可挑剔,更記得他最後被自己的狂妄自大搞得身敗名裂窮睏潦倒...
評分可能是個人原因,不太喜歡書中誇張鋪陳的敘事風格,繁瑣的顔色詞匯,也不喜歡這種對情感過於隱晦的描寫,看著頭疼,全書看起來總覺得很壓抑。但還是比較喜歡書中某些人物,比如伊達貝爾,個性鮮明,叛逆不羈。

評分有好多詩意又美妙的語句,但沒有像書麵簡介中說的什麼intense好不好!!!還有書中一個角色的原型是To Kill a Mockingbird的作者
評分didn't finish. A bit too narcissism for me.
評分很喜歡Randolf這個角色 ; "what are most lives but a series of incomplete episodes? 'we work in the dark, we do what we can, we give what we have. Out doubt is our passion, our passion is our task...'"
