MUSIC FOR CHAMELEONS - TRUMAN CAPOTE KARTONIERT...

In these gems of reportage Truman Capote takes true stories and real people and renders them
with the stylistic brio we expect from great fiction. Here we encounter an exquisitely
preserved Creole aristocrat sipping absinthe in her Martinique salon  an enigmatic killer who
sends his victims announcements of their forthcoming demise  and a proper Connecticut
householder with a ruinous obsession for a twelve-year-old he has never met. And we meet Capote
himself  who  whether he is smoking with his cleaning lady or trading sexual gossip with
Marilyn Monroe  remains one of the most elegant  malicious  yet compassionate writers to train
his eye on the social fauna of his time.
