Truman Capote

Truman Capote — 2 titles in the rankings, first published between 1958 and 1966. They average 7.9, above the 7.8 the whole catalogue averages.

Editor’s note In Cold Blood reconstructs the 1959 murder of the Clutter family in a small Kansas farming town and the lives of the two men who killed them, built from years of interviews; Capote called it a non-fiction novel, and some of its scenes have since been questioned as embellished. Chilling and highly rated, it is the only book of his here with enough ratings. Breakfast at Tiffany’s is his best-known novella.
