Truman Streckfus Persons known as Truman Capote was an American author, screenwriter and playwright, many of whose short stories, novels, plays, and nonfiction are recognized literary classics, including the crimenovel In Cold Blood (1966), which he labeled a "nonfiction novel" and which I'm going to read and analize.

Capote had a bohemian lifestyle, he was an open homosexual and was a very eccentric man. He had played several roles in movies, and in 1977 for his role in the film of Lionel Twain "Dinner with murder" was nominated for a famous film award "Golden Globe" in the category "Best Acting Debut in a feature film". Truman Capote died August 25, 1984 in Los Angeles from cirrhosis of the liver caused by opiate toxicity at age 59.

In Russia Capote became widely known due to the novel "Breakfast at Tiffany's" and its famous film adaptation with Audrey Hepburn. I've heard about this film since my childhood, but I didn't know about the book and even more its author.

But after many years, in the autumn evening one friend of mine famous for his exquisite taste in music and literature, strongly recommended a book of some Capote. Oh, okay, I'll read it somehow I said and passed it off thinking about other things. Probably that "somehow" has come I remembered this advice, read some reviews which is said that detective is the acme of his writing skill (curious: this book is also in the top favorite books of David Bowie) and decided to read "In the Cold Blood"

Honestly, I do not expect much from the book, suspect it's detective story in the same strain of Agatha Christie's books. But I hope there will be a lot of blood, new words, pithy phrases, a bit of mystery or even more, maybe it will suggest some interesting thoughts

So, let's start!
