Truman Capote, the author of "Breakfast at Tiffany's" reads an article on a back page of the New York Times. It tells of the murders of four members of a well-known farm family, the Clutters in Holcomb, Kansas. Something about this one catches Capote's eye. It presents an opportunity, he believes, to test his long-held theory that, in the hands of the right writer, non-fiction can be as compelling as fiction. The New Yorker magazine give him the assignment and he sets out for Kansas. Accompanying him is a friend from his Alabama childhood: Harper Lee author of "To Kill a Mockingbird." |
