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.
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.

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.
"Darling, " he read, "I love you as no woman ever loved, but Lance, my dearest, leave me now while our love is still a shining thing." “亲爱的，我对你的爱是任何女人都比不上的，但是，请离开我，趁现在我们的爱仍然熠熠生辉的时候离开我。” (查看原文)
很喜欢Randolf这个角色 ; "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...'"

卡波特漂亮得令人惊绝的处女作，三年前读中文版只是一般喜欢，这次再读却喜欢得很震撼。遥远而不可得的爱人、被指责不够阳刚的小男孩和痛恨被当成女人的小女孩，与去年看的Queer和I Saw the TV Glow产生了一种微妙的共鸣。该开始挑战读读其他卡波特了。
