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.
2005年上映的传记影片《卡波特》中,为了凸显这位作家的性格设置了很多细节,令我印象深刻的一条是开篇六分钟里,杜鲁门·卡波特为了他的新书写作邀请他儿时的朋友和玩伴,《杀死一只知更鸟》的作者哈珀·李共同前往堪萨斯城调查一家人的遇害事件。在火车上的包厢里,当菲利普...
评分可能是个人原因,不太喜欢书中夸张铺陈的叙事风格,繁琐的颜色词汇,也不喜欢这种对情感过于隐晦的描写,看着头疼,全书看起来总觉得很压抑。但还是比较喜欢书中某些人物,比如伊达贝尔,个性鲜明,叛逆不羁。

评分让我想起萨冈的你好,忧愁,同样的年轻,同样的毋庸置疑的跳跃和轻浮,有些说不清道不明的澎湃和厌倦,一边拿出全部证明着自己,却随时转身一去不返的娇纵样子。 也让我想起某个黄金时代,那时,我们还热衷于向身边人冲动地描述所看到的一切。“两个成年男人站在一间丑陋的小屋...
