Ebook About
The private letters of Truman Capote, lovingly assembled here for the first time by acclaimed Capote biographer Gerald Clarke, provide an intimate, unvarnished portrait of one of the twentieth century’s most colorful and fascinating literary figures.Capote was an inveterate letter writer. He wrote letters as he spoke: emphatically, spontaneously, and passionately. Spanning more than four decades, his letters are the closest thing we have to a Capote autobiography, showing us the uncannily self-possessed naïf who jumped headlong into the post–World War II New York literary scene; the more mature Capote of the 1950s; the Capote of the early 1960s, immersed in the research and writing of In Cold Blood; and Capote later in life, as things seem to be unraveling. With cameos by a veritable who’s who of twentieth-century glitterati, Too Brief a Treat shines a spotlight on the life and times of an incomparable American writer.

Book Too Brief a Treat: The Letters of Truman Capote (Vintage International) Review :



I've been a fan of Truman Capote since I first discovered him in college when I read George Plimpton's book about him. Being from the South, I had an immediate connection with Truman as a Southern Literary great. Over the years, I have read and reread his work. I have never read Clark's biography of Capote but I intend to some day. Too Brief a Treat is indeed that - a nice treat for anyone who is a fan. It is a collection of letters dating all the way back to when Truman was a child and wrote a letter to his father telling him his name was now Capote and that he should be addressed as such.The book is divided into 3 sections. If you are familiar with Truman, then you will understand my reference in saying that the three sections are pre-Kansas, Kansas, and post-Kansas. In the first section, we see Truman working on pieces for magazines, various essays, his first book, Breakfast at Tiffany's, plays, and screenplays. He writes from Yaddo, and eventually after meeting Jack Dunphy most of his letters are written from overseas. There's lots of gossip, famous name dropping, mention of other authors, feuds and travel. Truman writes to friends and colleagues and his letters are always cheerful and full of love (often signed with what I used as the title of my review).The largest section is composed almost entirely of letters written while Truman was working on In Cold Blood. Here, we see Truman growing older and anxiously waiting five years for Smith and Hickock (who committed the Clutter murders) to be executed so that he can write the end of his book. It's obvious from his tone how much this project absorbed him. He writes countless letters to the Dewey family, who befriended him in Kansas and helped him with research. He even gives their son writing advice. Not one single letter to Harper Lee though throughout this time which I found sad. He also writes to Perry Smith in prison, and his tone to Smith is much different than when he mentions him in letters to others!Finally, the last section where the letters get smaller (thanks in part to the telephone). Truman writes of his rehab problems, a car accident, and several literary feuds he had with other writers and their lawyers. We find Truman in the states more often and spending less time with Jack. There are quite a few letters to Jack in the last section. A sad cable to Jack closes the book in the early 80s. Truman died in 1984.Being one sided, and we as a reader are eavesdropping, it takes a lot of patience to keep reading. I was never bored though, never skipped around. It definitely gave me better insight to this man who I have admired for so long, and made me want to pick up his short stories and reread them. There are wonderful and numerous footnotes throughout; Clark does a great job of explaining who is who or what is happening. For anyone who is a fan of TC or just a fan of letters anyway, I highly recommend this book!
I don't know if this is the greatest collection of letter written by him in terms of content...BUT just knowing how his mind works is plenty.Plus the attention to detail that he gave his friends, and his terms of endearment , are enough for me. Not a perfect human being c/o alcoholism and gossip.But a great American mind who could have the greatest tact and charm under pressure. I say get it and add to your collect...take it out once in a while when youhave the "mean reds". We were lucky to have him.
