    <body><![CDATA[I'd been teaching In Cold Blood for two semesters and used the preface to this to introduce In Cold Blood, so I figured I might as well read the rest of the book.

    <body><![CDATA[I love Truman Capote.  The man was a prose-bound poet.  His talent has always seemed to be an effortless, inborn genius: the seemingly-unlabored perfection of his words, the offhand brilliance of his dialogue, the razor-sharp vividness of his descriptions.  Although all the stories in this book are ...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/39390904">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[great collection of short stories...if you liked In Cold Blood, you will love Handcarved Coffins...creepy but I couldn't stop reading.<br/>Capote has a great voice and in general I agree with his opinions.  Old book I borrowed to have something to read on the plane, but a good one none the less]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[First off, it may claim to be non-fiction but I'm going to call bullshit on the non-fictionality of some of these stories.  I did a little research, and the &quot;true crime&quot; story Handcarved Coffins that forms the centerpiece of the book is not even slightly true.

    <body><![CDATA[All the essays and fiction are classic Capote, including his best short story, Mojave. Interviews with stars and one novella length crime drama, Handcarved Coffins. If you've read Capote, this is an introduction. Written at the end of his life, his gift shines with a rare humility. ]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[A collection of stories from Truman Capote. . . it's pretty good but I made the mistake of reading the intro and discovering what a pompous ass Capote was, and that tainted the book for me.
