TRUMAN CAPOTE’S VOICES AND ROOMS AND HIS IDIOSYNCRATIC EXPRESSIONS OF DIVERSITY

Summary/Abstract: Although sometimes seen as a regional writer, because of his seedtime spent in the South, Truman Capote, among the writers having emerged in the middle of the 20th century, shows amazing versatility and willingness to adapt to a life “on the road,” traveling between and among places and spaces on the American literary map. He will be a writer experimenting with other voices, other rooms, as the name of his first novel suggests, while living on the edge. And then, how can one ignore the exercise in diversity of perspective that Truman will engage in, in his shift from the exploration of the special femininity of a Manhattan geisha in Breakfast at Tiffany’s to the incursion into the troubled consciousness of the killers in In Cold Blood?
