Summary

This week, we wind down our Capote's Coterie series by investigating the third act of Truman Capote, including those scandalous chapters of Answered Prayers which targeted and alienated his Swans. In 1966, Truman claimed double success with the publication of In Cold Blood. Ultimately though, these achievements combined with his own hubris do not lead Capote to happiness, as his last decade reveals. All sources can be found at doneanddunne.com.
