HOMEPAGE Dieter Wunderlich: Hintergrundinformationen zu von Dieter Wunderlich Truman Capote 1924 – 1984 / Biografie Truman Capote (eigentlich: Truman Streckfus Persons) wurde am 30. September 1924 in New Orleans geboren und wuchs nach der Scheidung seiner Eltern (1928) vorwiegend bei Verwandten in Monroeville, Alabama, auf. Er war zehn Jahre alt, als seine Mutter wieder heiratete, Truman von seinem kubanischen Stiefvater Joseph Capote adoptiert wurde und die Familie nach New York zog. Dort entdeckte Truman Capote das Theater. Die aus einer berühmten Industriellenfamilie stammende Künstlerin Gloria Laura Vanderbilt (* 1924) und Oona O'Neill (1925 – 1991), die Tochter des Dramatikers Eugen O'Neill und vierte Ehefrau von Charlie Chaplin , führten Truman Capote in die High Society ein. Mit dem vierundzwanzig Jahre älteren Literaturprofessor Frederick Newton Arvin (1900 – 1963) hatte er eine homosexuelle Affäre. Seine ersten Erzählungen – darunter "Miriam" – wurden 1945/46 veröffentlicht. Sein erster Roman – "Other Voices, Other Rooms" (1948; "Andere Stimmen, andere Räume", 1950) – sorgte nicht nur in den USA, sondern auch in Europa für Aufsehen. Es folgten die Romane "The Grass Harp" (1951; "Die Grasharfe" , 1952) und "Breakfast at Tiffany's" (1958;

Z by birthday from the calendar Credits and feedback TimeSearch for Books and Writers by Bamber Gascoigne Truman Capote (1924-1984) - original name Truman Streckfus Persons American novelist, short story writer, and playwright. Capote gained international fame with his "nonfiction novel" IN COLD BLOOD (1966), an account of a real life crime in which an entire family was murdered by two sociopaths. The Louisiana-Mississippi-Alabama area provided the setting for much of Capote's fiction. "Until one morning in mid-November of 1959, few Americans - in fact, few Kansans - had ever heard of Holcomb. Like the waters of river, like the motorists on the highway, and like the yellow trains streaking down the Santa Fe tracks, drama, in the shape of exceptional happenings, had never stopped there." (from In Cold Blood Truman Capote was born in New Orleans, as the son of a salesman and a 16-year-old beauty queen, Lillie Mae Faulk. His father, Archulus "Arch" Persons, worked as a clerk for a steamboat company. Persons never stuck at any job for long, and was always leaving home in search for new opportunities. The unhappy marriage gradually disintegrated. When Capote was four, his parents eventually divorced. The young Truman was brought up in Monroeville, Alabama. He lived some years with his relatives, one of whom became the model for the loving, elderly spinster of the author's novels, stories, and plays. "Her face is remarkable - not unlike Lincoln's, craggy like that, and tinted by sun and wind," described Capote in A CHRISTMAS MEMORY (1966) his distant relative Sook, Nanny Rumbley Faulk. Sook was sixty-something, "small and sprightly, like a bantam hen..." Capote's mother, Lillie Mae, wrote letters and telephoned to her son, often crying that she had no money and no husband.

28. Capote, Truman Truman Garc a Capote (September 30, 1924 – August 25, 1984) was an American writer whose nonfiction, stories, novels, and plays are recognized literary classics. http://www.newworldencyclopedia.org/entry/Truman_Capote

Capote, Truman From New World Encyclopedia Jump to: navigation search Previous (True Cross) Next (Truman Doctrine) Truman García Capote (September 30, 1924 – August 25, 1984) was an American writer whose non-fiction, stories, novels, and plays are recognized literary classics. He is best known for In Cold Blood (1965) and the novella Breakfast at Tiffany's (1958). Capote, especially in his groundbreaking work, In Cold Blood, was one of the early pioneers of a distinctly modern novelistic subgenre, the journalistic novel that attempts to present the narrative in a hyper-real verisimilitude that is passed off as "reality." Capote helped to create the "mythology" of the genre, namely that of an artless presentation, when he announced that "every word is true," as if to suggest that his novel was purely an "eye-witness" account, and the effect of the story was not the result of a storytellers craft. The emphasis of verisimilitude treats materialistic "surface" phenomena as "reality." At least 20 films and TV dramas have been produced from Capote novels, stories, and screenplays.

Between the publication of his short stories in the late 1940s and the success of In Cold Blood in 1966, Capote, Clarke demonstrates, was a supreme writing talent and an intimate of the rich and famous "swans"Babe Paley, Gloria Guinness, Lee Radziwillwhose names, with his, filled the gossip columns. But the uneasy stability of that glittering schizophrenia crumbled with pressures brought on by years of researching and writing In Cold Blood.
