This is one of Capote's later books, mostly shorter bits in a direction that he described as arising from a desire to finally integrate all the kinds of writing he'd learned to do until then, fiction and non. He's lived enough at this point that he has plenty of names to drop and escapades to share, but probably less brain to manage it all with. He gets involved in yet another murder case, gossips with Marilyn, meets Willa Cather, interviews Bobby Beausoleil. It's not his best, but there is an openness that's appealing, and as always, it's Truman.
