A Feast Can Fall Apart: the Capote Letters (capote's Works)
by I
About This Novel
"The Feast Is Gone: The Capote Letters" contains more than 400 of Capote's personal letters, compiled and compiled by Capote biographer Gerald Clark, and disclosed to the world for the first time. It thus presents the most candid and private portrait of Capote, constituting a writer's autobiography of extraordinary significance. From a "statement" written to his biological father when he was 12 years old, to a tearful telegram sent to his lifelong partner two years before his death, the owner of the letter went from a "little wizard" and elf who jumped into the New York literary world, and experienced his high-spirited and heroic years; and then a slightly inner life. In the 1950s, he lived in Europe with his partner and wrote non-stop; in the 1960s, a pioneering non-fiction writing work, "In Cold Blood", pushed him to the top of his career and became the most famous writer in the United States; until the feast dissipated and the light faded, he died of alcohol and drugs in his prime. In the letters, Capote is full of life and self-disclosure. His open-mindedness and uniqueness as a humanistic person make the book full of "absolute fun and crackling rumors and gossip" (Vanity Fair), just like a feast that breaks up and fireworks that get cold, making people sigh with regret.
