In Cold Blood by Truman Capote
#17 in my book challenge for the year, In Cold Blood by Truman Capote was an interesting complement to Capote, the film. Capote the author only let himself creep into the narrative in two places near the end. Once, he refers to a friend of Perry Smith, and another time to a journalist who is friendly with both Perry and Dick. It is odd to recognize that this book was the precursor both to true-crime thrillers and the creative non-fiction genre, both of which are so prevalent today.
