In Cold Blood
Ever since I was a little girl, I dreamed of a career as a true crime writer. There is something about murder that fascinates me. Not the murder scene per se, but the motive. Love. Money. Jealousy. Revenge.
In Cold Blood was the first nonfiction piece that delved into the lives of the murderers and victims in profound detail. I received emails (okay, one email) asking for information on In Cold Blood so I posted a clip on the subject. Enjoy.
Very interesting. Thanks for posting it.
Some say that Capote’s In Cold Blood is more a work of fiction than narrtive nonfiction. It seems that he included events that didn’t happen. It is also rumored that he had an affair with one of the murderers. In Cold Blood was the last book he wrote. The story of In Cold Blood and Capote is very interesting.
