ANSWERED PRAYERS - TRUMAN CAPOTE KARTONIERT (TB)

Although Truman Capote's last  unfinished novel offers a devastating group portrait of the high
and low society of his time.  Tracing the career of a writer of uncertain parentage and
omnivorous erotic tastes  Answered Prayers careens from a louche bar in Tangiers to a banquette
at La Côte Basque  from literary salons to high-priced whorehouses. It takes in calculating
beauties and sadistic husbands along with such real-life supporting characters as Colette  the
Duchess of Windsor  Montgomery Clift  and Tallulah Bankhead. Above all  this malevolently finny
book displays Capote at his most relentlessly observant and murderously witty.
