Capote
Eight copies in several editions of Truman Capote's "In Cold Blood" sit behind the circulation desk at the Finney County Public Library in Garden City (Kansas).

Murder By Death (1976)
Sidney Wang (Peter Sellers): Yes, is confusing.
Lionel Twain (Truman Capote): IT! IT is confusing! Say your goddamn pronouns!
wtf?
I remember watching Murder by Death now that you mention the part about "say your pronouns!"
ReplyDeleteI really enjoyed "Other Voices, Other Rooms" by Capote--I thought it was like a southern summer daydream.
Murder by Death was my intro to Truman Capote as a kid. Seems strange, in hindsight, he was in it.
ReplyDeleteI haven't read "Other Voices, Other Rooms". Based on your description, it sounds like one of the reasons why his writing is described as being "Southern gothic". I've only read "The Thanksgiving Visitor" and In Cold Blood.
Dude, you should cover "Brazil," the parallels to today are scary..."Don't suspect your neighbor, turn him in!"
