Truman Capote – Books That Killed Their Authors
Answered Prayers/In Cold Blood
“More tears are shed over answered prayers than unanswered ones”. –Saint Teresa of Avila
On The Dick Cavett Show in May 1971, Truman Capote called his then work-in-progress, “Answered Prayers”, his “posthumous novel”.
“Either I’m going to kill it, or it’s going to kill me”.
And kill him it did.
