Welcome to Dun & Dun. I'm Alicia, your hostess on this journey, All Things Dominic Dunn, where it is

always eternally connected in the land of our man Nick. Thank you for joining me today for this

literary and true crime jaunt of a journey. You know it, I know it. Dominic Dunn was a name dropper. No matter where he was,

he was always getting the scoop. People loved to give Dominic Dunn the scoop and, well, Dominic

Dunn loved to write about the scoop, especially about people that he knew. We have talked numerous times in our podcast journey

about the complicated relationship between Dominic Dunn and Truman Capote here in a lot of ways.

In this episode today, we are going to connect a few things from a Dunn's diary piece. In the last few weeks, we have talked about Dominic Dunn's

Connecticut home retreat, his place there with the ducks and his renovation. It is in the summer of

2006, Dominic Dunn was spending some time in Connecticut, presumably continuing his travels around antique shops

and the like. And there is one of these Dunn's diaries from Vanity Fair that truly is four or five

separate stories that Nick got the scoop on in June of 2006. In this first of those threads of episodes,

we're going to talk about the scoop on Truman Capote and one of his lost treasures

connected with a true crime. Only Dominic Dunn, friends, it is going to be quite the lost treasure journey this week on

Dun & Dun, beginning here with a few of the things that Truman left behind. Let's investigate. Oh my, we're going to have a little bit of fun today, everybody.

We begin with the first story in a piece from Dominic Dunn's diary June 2006 this piece is entitled

Greenwich Murder Time all of these stories do you have a Connecticut through in regarding Greenwich

Connecticut but we do go a little further out.

I want to go ahead and give you the subhead, at least the very first part of it,

for the first thread we're going to cover today from Greenwich Murder Time.

Subhead reads, when the author decides to spend a little quiet time in the country,

lunch at a local tavern leads to a gold mine of

Truman Capote's abandoned papers. What? You know, the Dominic Dunn wants to find out about this.
