Really enjoyed this book. To Kill a Mockingbird is one book I read again and again so I really liked reading about Harper Lee's life and influences as she grew up with Truman and Jennings Faulk Carter. Highly Recommend.
I really enjoyed reading this book on Truman Capote's early years growing up in Monroeville, Alabama. The memories are well-written, and give you a bit of understanding into how this small town shaped him.
Fairly interesting, though light book on Capote's Southern years by a distant cousin.
One of Truman Capote's relatives wrote a book about his childhood in Monroeville. It was a nice to see Truman in his relative childhood innocence before he became a bon vivant.
