Truman Capote’s first novel is a story of almost supernatural intensity and inventiveness, an audacious foray into the mind of a sensitive boy as he seeks out the grown-up enigmas of love and death in the ghostly landscape of the deep South.
At the age of twelve, Joel Knox is summoned to meet the father who abandoned him at birth. But when Joel arrives at the decaying mansion in Skully’s Landing, his father is nowhere in sight. What he finds instead is a sullen stepmother who delights in killing birds; an uncle with the face—and heart—of a debauched child; and a fearsome little girl named Idabel who may offer him the closest thing he has ever known to love.
TRUMAN CAPOTE was born September 30, 1924, in New Orleans. After his parents’ divorce, he was sent to live with relatives in Monroeville, Alabama. It was here he would meet his lifelong friend, the author Harper Lee. With the 1948 publication of Other Voices, Other Rooms, Capote was catapulted onto the international literary scene and for nearly four decades was a fixture in New York literati and high society circles. Twice awarded the O. Henry Short Story Prize, Capote was also the recipient of a National Institute of Arts and Letters Creative Writing Award and an Edgar Award. Among his many celebrated works are the short-story collection The Grass Harp, the novella Breakfast at Tiffany’s, the memoirs A Christmas Memory and The Thanksgiving Visitor, and the true-crime masterpiece In Cold Blood. Capote died in 1984, just weeks shy of his sixtieth birthday.

评分伦道夫若有所思地说:“……奇怪得很,我对未来一点都不感到激动,很早以前我就意识到我的生命属于别的时代。” “但是我想知道的是未来。”乔尔说。 伦道夫摇摇头……“你没听说过智者的那句话吗?未来完全存在于过去之中。” 也许,智者的话真的是对的。那么多人活在过去之...
评分这本书再一次说明童年对人的影响有多么持久。里尔克如果看到想必很高兴(他在《给青年诗人的信》里滔滔不绝地说了那么多。) 写这本书的卡波特离童年还不远。借乔尔十三岁的诡异遭遇,他完美地还原了记忆里的声音、光影,甚至气味,像编织一个无边无际、繁复绮丽的梦境。翻...
评分约翰•贝伦特 杜鲁门•卡波特多年后曾回忆到,《别的声音,别的房间》源于他在一次林中漫步时的突发灵感,当时像是获得神示一般。那时他二十一岁,住在阿拉巴马州乡下的亲戚家,正在创作一部小说,可已经开始担心那本书最终会是“空洞、肤浅、淡漠”的。一天下午,他沿...
评分人的回忆和梦境惊人的相似。 恍惚如在眼前,有多少有些模糊。就像透过镜子观看自己一样,自我补充,自我幻想的部分填充了现实,弥补了现实,随愿望而改变现实。 同时,也正是这种“擅自篡改”是最不愿意承认的。 “头脑可以接受劝告,但是心却不能,而爱,因为不懂地理,所以不...
