Hardcover. Condizione: As New. Condizione sovraccoperta: As New. 1st Edition. 1st Printing. 375 pages. Published in 1987. The author's collection of interviews. Published in a small and limited print run of 500 copies by a University Press as part of the now-legendary "Literary Conversations" Series. This First Hardcover Edition was sold to public libraries only and was never reissued. Should not be confused with the regular trade Softcover Edition. The First Edition is now rare. Presents, in the most collectible format possible, "Truman Capote: Conversations". A representative selection of interviews conducted by various writers, journalists, and scholars with the author. Gives a rich, complex, and lively overview of both the life and mind of one of America's most important writers. Presented in chronological order, the interviews cumulatively amount to an absorbing account of one of the greatest literary journeys of the 20th century, which is the explicit intention of the publisher with each writer who is included in the Series. Together with Lawrence Grobel's "Conversations With Capote" (1985), the final interviews Capote gave just before he died, the present collection is all you will need to hear everything - truth, un-truth, and gossip - from and about Truman Capote straight from the horse's mouth. In the end, Capote's problem, if that is what it was, was with reality, not just celebrity: As a careful reading of these illuminating Interviews, conducted over the key decades of the so-called American Century (the 1940's through the early 1980's), will unwittingly show, Capote's personal ethics were those of a precocious and mischievous child, who tested the patience of grown-ups (his beloved Swans, the media, the critics) because he believed he would get away with it. He would be reprimanded for his infractions, then be forgiven and re-embraced because "he's just a child" and because they love him. A child's ethics is about pure, unconditional love and forgiveness. The grown-ups he betrayed obviously felt otherwise, and Capote paid the ultimate price. The dazzling photograph of the young Capote on the Cover was taken by no less than William S. Paley, the founder of CBS and philandering husband of Babe Paley, Truman's Premier Swan. The original photograph is now in the Library of Congress Collection. "ALL literature is gossip" (Truman Capote). An absolute "must-have" title for Truman Capote collectors. This title is a great collection. This is one of few copies of the First Hardcover Edition/First Printing still available online and is in especially fine condition: Clean, crisp, and bright. It is the single most beautiful copy we have ever seen. Please note: Copies available online have very serious flaws, are former library copies, or the Softcover Edition. This is surely an accessible and lovely alternative. A rare copy thus. Truman Capote's "In Cold Blood" is widely regarded as one of the greatest books of the 20th century. One of the greatest writers of the 20th century. A fine copy. (SEE ALSO OTHER TRUMAN CAPOTE TITLES IN OUR CATALOG) ISBN 0878052747. no. …

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - Truman Capote once said, ¿The thing I like to do most in the whole world is talk .,¿ and talk he does in the more than two dozen interviews collected in this book. The topics are often gossip about the famous people Capote ran with, but always he provides revealing information about his writings¿the authors who inspired him, his meticulous methods of research and composition, and his personal reverence for the craft of authorship. He was, as the editor notes, ¿fiercely devoted to his art, and keenly aware of his place in the world of letters.¿ While his detractors, such as Ernest Hemingway and Gore Vidal, spoke out long and loud against the feisty and media-minded writer from Louisiana, Capote here has the last word. What emerges is a portrait of the author as pop cult figure¿unabashed in his pursuit of fame and fortune but unstinting in his devotion to becoming one of Americäs major prose stylists. These interviews range from the first he granted after the publication of his first novel through his shockingly personal self-interview which appeared at the end of his last major work.…
