Portraits and Observations: The Essays of Truman Capote | Truman Capote

pick

Wonderfully varied selection of Capote's essays and travelogues. Highlights include Lola, a loving account of his pet raven, and Handmade Coffins, a "non-fiction crime story" (Hmm, not buying it TC old bean, frankly). But it's pretty much all brilliant.
