TRUMAN CAPOTE(ISBN=) 英文原版

Nobody can match George Plimpton as an adroit weaver of
interviews into a tight narrative fabric. Plimpton can make even a
negligible life into a magic-carpet ride, as in his editing of Jean
Stein’s perennial bestseller, , about Andy Warhol’s
victim-starlet Edie Sedgwick.

Using the oral-biography style that made his Edie (edited
with Jean Stein) a bestseller, George Plimpton has blended the
voices of Capote’s friends, lovers, and colleagues into a
captivating and narrative. Here we see the entire span of Capote’s
life, from his Southern childhood, to his early days in New York;
his first literary success with the publication of Other Voices,
Other Rooms; his highly active love life; the groundbreaking
excitement of In Cold Blood, the first “nonfiction novel”; his
years as a jet-setter; and his final days of flagging inspiration,
alcoholism, and isolation. All his famous friends and enemies are
here: C.Z. Guest, Katharine Graham, Lauren Bacall, Gore Vidal,
Norman Mailer, Joan Didion, John Huston, William F. Buckley, Jr.,
and dozens of others.

George Plimpton, the originator of “participatory journalism,”
is the editor of The Paris Review.  His books
include Paper Lion, Out of My League, The Bogey Man, Open Net,
The Curious Case of Sidd Finch, and, most recently, The X
Factor.  He lives in New York City.
