Truman Capote wrote “Breakfast At Tiffany’s” which is far, far away from the Deep South...and entirely different prose from “To Kill A Mockingbird” which was written by Harper Lee.
Harper Lee *did* help Capote write “In Cold Blood” as well as many of his movie scripts, though.
Just not the other way around. Capote didn’t help her with “Go Set A Watchman” or “To Kill a Mockingbird.”
I agree. But Truman’s early claim to fame was his southern writing - A Christmas Memory, The Grass Harp, etc.
Does anyone remember he wrote the beautiful lyric to the gorgeous song “A Sleepin’ Bee”? And for those who love “true crime” like In Cold Blood, please, please buy “Handcarved Coffins.”
