Short description
Ein dramaturgisch geschickter Roman, der aus der Perspektive der Mörder, der ermordeten Familie und der ermittelnden Beamten erzählt. Spannend, psychologisch stimmig, fesselnd von der ersten bis zur letzten Minute!Blurb
Truman Capote was born in New Orleans in 1925 and was raised in various parts of the south, his family spending winters in New Orleans and summers in Alabama and New Georgia. By the age of fourteen he had already started writing short stories, some of which were published. He left school when he was fifteen and subsequently worked for the New Yorker which provided his first - and last - regular job. Following his spell with the New Yorker, Capote spent two years on a Louisiana farm where he wrote Other Voices, Other Rooms (1948). He lived, at one time or another, in Greece, Italy, Africa and the West Indies, and travelled in Russia and the Orient. He is the author of many highly praised books, including A Tree of Night and Other Stories (1949), The Grass Harp (1951), Breakfast at Tiffany's (1958), In Cold Blood (1965), which immediately became the centre of a storm of controversy on its publication, Music for Chameleons (1980) and Answered Prayers (1986), all of which are published by Penguin. Truman Capote died in August 1984.
Biography
Truman Capote, geb. am 30.9.1924 in New Orleans, wuchs in den Südstaaten auf und ging 1934 nach New York. Dort entdeckte Capote das Theater und verschaffte sich schnell Eintritt in die High Society. Mit 18 Jahren begann Capote als Redaktionsgehilfe beim New Yorker zu arbeiten, bevor ihm 1945 mit einer Kurzgeschichte der literarische Durchbruch gelang. Ausgezeichnet mit vielen renommierten Preisen spalteten seine Romane die Kritik sowie die Leser: Er galt in der Gesellschaft als enfant terrible. Seine Bücher, aber auch die Romanverfilmungen brachten ihm Weltruhm ein, der bis heute andauert. Truman Capote starb 1984 in Los Angeles.More from Truman Capote
