Amazon.com description: Product Description: From the Modern Libraryâs new set of beautifully repackaged hardcover classics by Truman Capoteâalso available are Breakfast at Tiffanyâs and Other Voices, Other Rooms (in one volume), In Cold Blood, and The Complete Stories
Perhaps no twentieth-century writer was so observant and graceful a chronicler of his times as Truman Capote. Portraits and Observations is the first volume devoted solely to all the essays ever published by this most beloved of writers. Included are such masterpieces of narrative nonfiction as âThe Muses Are Heardâ and the short nonfiction novel âHandcarved Coffins,â as well as many long-out-of-print essays, including portraits of Mae West, Humphrey Bogart, and Marilyn Monroe. From his travel sketches of Brooklyn, New Orleans, and Hollywood, written when he was twenty-two, to the authorâs last written words, âRemembering Willa Cather,â composed the day before his death in 1984, Portraits and Observations puts on display the full spectrum of Truman Capoteâs brilliance. Certainly Capote was, as Somerset Maugham famously called him, âa stylist of the first quality.â But as the pieces gathered here remind us, he was also an artist of remarkable substance.
