Bio

(1924-1984)(Truman Streckfus Persons) Author. Truman Capote was born in New Orleans, Louisiana, and lived at 870 United Nations Plaza, New York, New York. “Other Voices, Other Rooms,” his first novel, is the story of a young boy’s painful search for identity. He has published another novel, “The Grass Harp” (1951); two collections of short stories, “Tree of Night” (1949) and “Breakfast at Tiffany’s” (1958); a report of his trip to Russia, “The Muses are Heard” (1956); “A Christmas Memory” (1966); and a collection of nonfiction pieces, “The Dogs Bark: Public People and Private Places” (1973). In 1966, Capote published “In Cold Blood,” a chilling, semi-documentary study of a senseless, brutal murder in Kansas, which he called “a nonfictional novel.”
