Recensione:

Praise for Gerald Clarke's Capote

"Mr. Clarke has taken on a subject whose life we are used to reading about in the most sensational and superficial terms and has produced a book of extraordinary substance, a study rich in intelligence and compassion. . . . Heartbreaking though it is, one can't put the book down."
--Bruce Bawer, The Wall Street Journal

"Capote the biography is more than worthy of Capote the man. The book transcends gossip, falling short of tragedy only to the extent that Capote himself fell short of greatness."        
--Larry Lee, San Francisco Chronicle Book Review

"This is literary biography the way it should be written, as rich and densely textured as a novel."                          
--James Atlas, Vogue

"The book reads as if it had been written alongside the life, rather than after it, like a car following a train, the driver picking up passengers as they alight, always catching the right people at the right time. . . . [An]  enthralling, novel-like biography."
--Molly Haskell, The New York Times Book Review
