ISBN: 9780375702419 - Descripcion: EDITED BY GERALD CLARKE AUTHOR OF CAPOTE : A BIOGRAPHY.Truman Capote was hailed as one the most meticulous writers in American letters-a part of the Capote mystique is that his precise writing seemed to exist apart from his chaotic life. While the measure of Capote as a writer is best taken through his work Capote the person is best understood in his personal correspondence with friends colleagues lovers and rivals. In Too Brief a Treat the acclaimed biographer Gerald Clarke brings together for the first time the private letters of Truman Capote. Encompassing more than four decades these letters reveal the inner life of one of the twentieth centurys most intriguing personalities. As Clarke notes in his Introduction Capote was an inveterate letter writer who both loved and craved love without inhibition. He wrote letters as he spoke: emphatically spontaneously and without reservation. He also wrote them at a breakneck pace unconcerned with posterity. Thus in this volume we have perhaps the closest thing possible to an elusive treasure: a Capote autobiography. Through his letters to the likes of William Styron Gloria Vanderbilt his publishers and editors his longtime companion and lover Jack Dunphy and others we see Capote in all his lifes phases-the uncannily self-possessed na-f who jumped headlong into the dynamic post--World War Two New York literary scene and the more mature established Capote of the 1950s. Then there is the Capote of the early 1960s immersed in the research and writing of his masterpiece In Cold Blood. Capotes correspondence with Kansas detective Alvin Dewey and with Perry Smith one of the killers profiled in that work demonstrates Capotes intense devotion to his craft while hisletters to friends like Cecil Beaton show Capote giddy with his emergence as a flamboyant mass media celebrity after that books publication - Editorial: VINTAGE INTERNATIONAL - Estado del Libro: Bien - Sobrecubierta: Edicion Sin Sobrecubierta - Año de publicación: 2004 - Tipo de encuadernacion: TAPA BLANDA - conservacion : LIBRO USADO EN BUEN ESTADO - categoria: OTROS Art. 11226
