| | 1. |  | In Cold Blood
from Modern Library
Price: $14.96
Customer Review:
Truman Capote arguably invented true crime, and still dominates with this spectacular classic. He took years to finish this book, his last book, and it shows in the brilliant prose. This is among my favorite books of all time. I recommend to everyone.

| | 3. |  | A Christmas Memory
from Knopf Books for Young Readers
Price: $12.21
Customer Review:
This was my first taste of Truman Capote away from Breakfast at Tiffany's, and I have to admit that I was blown away by these stories. Rarely does a story pull at my heart strings anymore, but these stories practically left me in tears. Incredibly moving.

| | 4. |  | The Grass Harp
from Vintage
Price: $10.36
Customer Review:
Truman Capote's gift for the written word brings marvel even in comparison to great literary geniuses. While "The Grass Harp" may not be the best exhibition of his talent, it is a brush stroke in his overall masterwork.
The centerpeice of this particular book is "The Grass Harp", an odd book... more info

| | 5. |  | The Complete Stories of Truman Capote
from Vintage
Price: $11.20
Customer Review:
Of the twenty stories that comprise the surprisingly slim (for a writer of his renown) The Complete Stories Of Truman Capote, only two can be classified as great, or at least excellent, while only two others can be called good. The rest are not even passable, despite the occasional memorable image... more info

| | 6. |  | Other Voices, Other Rooms
from Vintage
Price: $10.36
Customer Review:
Other Voices Other Rooms is at times massively confusing, intensely beautiful, and mystical. Often, all at the same time. Capote's command and use of language and style is unquestionably brilliant, and many times the text reads like poetry. Capote is simply a masterful composer of language. Every... more info

Truman Capote's 'In Cold Blood' is enjoying a resurgence of popularity thanks to the Oscar-winning film depicting the author's life and work during the writing of this phenomenal piece. At one point in the film, the character Capote makes the statement that when he thinks about how good this book... more info

| | 8. |  | Answered Prayers: The Unfinished Novel
from Vintage
Price: $10.40
Customer Review:
"Answered Prayers" is the infamous unfinished novel by Truman Capote that only exists in three finished chapters. It is the tale of a hustler/masseur/drifter/writer named P.B. Jones. I bought "Answered Prayers" to see what Capote's take was on the infamous Woodward murder scandal of the 1955.... more info

| | 9. |  | Music for Chameleons
from Vintage
Price: $11.16
Customer Review:
This is a quick, fun book to read: Truman Capote's writing, essentially exaggerated nonfiction (which makes for good storytelling), is crisp and concise and his stories consistently fast-flowing. (Well...the first story is a bit slow - though it does lend the book a fantastic title.)
Another... more info

| | 10. |  | In Cold Blood
from Random House Audio
Price: $23.07
Customer Review:
This is a great classic but you have to devote some time to listening to the CDs, as you would to read the book. Can't complaint about the convenience though; ability to listen to the CDs while driving, at work, at home, etc. is wonderful. If you haven't tried an audio book yet, do so, you will find... more info
