Truman Capote (Bloom's Modern Critical Views)

Truman Capote, at just 21 years old, was seen as the most promising young talent of 1945. His masterpiece, In Cold Blood, proved to be an amalgamation of his journalistic talent, his astute observations, and his skill at creating realistic dialogue and characterizations. This collection of critical essays on the author offers new avenues for exploring and discussing the works of the Alabama native. This addition to the Bloom's Modern Critical Views series is enhanced by a chronology, bibliography, notes on the contributors, and an introductory essay by noted literary scholar Harold Bloom.
