Truman Capote's Biography

Truman Garcia Capote (pronounced /ˈtruːmən kəˈpoʊti/; September 30, 1924 – August 25, 1984), born Truman Streckfus Persons, was an American writer, many of whose short stories, novels, plays, and nonfiction are recognized literary classics, including the novella Breakfast at Tiffany's (1958) and In Cold Blood (1965), which he labeled a "nonfiction novel". At least 20 films and television dramas have been produced from Capote novels, stories and screenplays. In Cold Blood turned out to be a milestone in popular culture, being often credited with pioneering the "true crime" genre of nonfiction. From the time of its publication, its factuality and Capote's journalistic integrity have been called into question, and this has continued in the decades since his death.
