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.

如果非要說嚴肅的文學創作與喧囂的名利場是魚和熊掌般相悖的兩個世界,那杜魯門•卡波特一定最有資格來證明這種說法的謬誤:既不乏振聾發聵的文學作品,又在周身貼滿光鮮奪目的名流標簽,卡波特成為瞭美國上世紀60年代遊曳在這兩個世界最著名的幽靈。 卡波特最為大傢熟知的...
評分這本書再一次說明童年對人的影響有多麼持久。裏爾剋如果看到想必很高興(他在《給青年詩人的信》裏滔滔不絕地說瞭那麼多。) 寫這本書的卡波特離童年還不遠。藉喬爾十三歲的詭異遭遇,他完美地還原瞭記憶裏的聲音、光影,甚至氣味,像編織一個無邊無際、繁復綺麗的夢境。翻...

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...
圖書標籤: 美國 小說 TrumanCapote 原版 capote 外國文學 的 文學
didn't finish. A bit too narcissism for me.
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...'"
