American writer and playwright Truman Strekfas Persenz was born on September 30, 1924 in the United States, in New Orleans.
Truman's father was a representative of a trading firm and hardly cared about him. The mother also did not follow the child very much, constantly going to have fun in jazz clubs. At the age of seven, the boy was sent to Alabama to see his aunt. That's where real life started! Like his friend Tennessee Williams, he loved the works of Mark Twain about the adventures of Tom Sawyer and Huckleberry Finn, only they were truly mischievous, implementing the leprosy of book heroes.
Truman Capote has been a local paparazzi since he was twelve years old, delivering gossip from neighborhood houses to the local newspaper. And at the same time, he begins to write very convincingly.
In 1948, Truman Capote published his first book, Other Voices, Other Rooms, which depicts the psychological crisis of a thirteen-year-old teenager who thinks the world of adults is nightmarish.
Since then, Truman has become famous. In 1951, the book “Voices of Grass” was published, in which the writer was no longer a child, but a fully formed modern storyteller.
I must say that Truman Capote was non-traditional sexual orientation, and after gaining popularity began to lead a luxurious life, bathing in the rays of fame. Often in his house gathered a large audience for parties, the night he left at his "boys" for entertainment. His 1958 book Breakfast at Tiffany's paints that world very accurately. Later, director Blake Edwards will shoot the eponymous film with actress Audrey Hepburn in the title role.
In 1965, Truman Capote published a sensational report called “Ordinary Murder.” It described the history of murderers sentenced to death, for which he interviewed witnesses and the perpetrators themselves, collected facts. This novel-report once again became a bestseller.
Another literary outburst of 1974 is When Dogs Bark, but it is no longer as popular as his previous works.
