Reviews

[An] extremely readable biography.
SUNDAY HERALD
In this riveting biography, Clarke, former TIME writer, depicts the sad sequence of sparkling achievements and overwhelming despair that marked the life of Truman Capote. Readers will be dazzled both by the life lived and the compelling skill with which Clarke brings it before us.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Clarke's extremely readable biography cleverly tells Capote's story in the manner of the 'non-fiction novel
mode Capote developed in IN COLD BLOOD.’
Mr. Clarke makes one feel at last as if one really understands Mr. Capote.
