About this product
Product Information
The chilling true crime 'non-fiction novel' that made Truman Capote's name, In Cold Blood is a seminal work of modern prose, a remarkable synthesis of journalistic skill and powerfully evocative narrative published in Penguin Modern Classics.Controversial and compelling, In Cold Blood reconstructs the murder in 1959 of a Kansas farmer, his wife and both their children. Truman Capote's comprehensive study of the killings and subsequent investigation explores the circumstances surrounding this terrible crime and the effect it had on those involved. At the centre of his study are the amoral young killers Perry Smith and Dick Hickcock, who, vividly drawn by Capote, are shown to be reprehensible yet entirely and frighteningly human. Truman Capote (1924-84) was born in New Orleans. He left school when he was fifteen and subsequently worked for The New Yorker, which provided his first - and last - regular job. He wrote both fiction and non-fiction - short stories, novels and novellas, travel writing, profiles, reportage, memoirs, plays and films; his other works include In Cold Blood (1965), Music for Chameleons (1980) and Answered Prayers (1986), all of which are published in Penguin Modern Classics.If you enjoyed In Cold Blood, you might like Jack Kerouac and William S. Burroughs' And the Hippos were Boiled in their Tanks, also available in Penguin Modern Classics.'It is the American dream turning into the American nightmare ... By juxtaposing and dovetailing the lives and values of the Clutters and those of the killers, Capote produces a stark image of the deep doubleness of American life ... a remarkable book'SpectatorProduct Identifiers

Not for the faint hearted....
I wouldn't have chosen this book myself, it was a book club choice, but I am loving it. Obviously its quite macabre but Truman Capote's prose is exquisite. Despite the title it doesn't dwell on the on the macabre but has a very documentary style of documenting this true life murder. Highly recommendedVerified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Very well written. Every Sentence had to fight for its inclusion
If the murdered family locked their doors at night, and had a trained guard dog in place then the outcome may have different. Having said the murderers were so disturbed they would probably never rested till they killed.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
