Answered Prayers by Truman Capote
Although Truman Capote's last novel was unfinished at the time of his death, its surviving portions offer a devastating group portrait of the high and low society of his time. * Includes the story La Cote Basque featured in the major FX series Feud: Capote Vs. the Swans."Prose that makes the heart sing and the narrative fly." --The New York Times Book Review
Tracing the career of a writer of uncertain parentage and omnivorous erotic tastes, Answered Prayers careens from a louche bar in Tangiers to a banquette at La Côte Basque, from literary salons to high-priced whorehouses. It takes in calculating beauties and sadistic husbands along with such real-life supporting characters as Colette, the Duchess of Windsor, Montgomery Clift, and Tallulah Bankhead. Above all, this malevolently funny book displays Capote at his most relentlessly observant and murderously witty.

Truman Capote was born in New Orleans on September 30, 1924. He was taken to live with relatives in Monroeville, Alabama, after his parents divorced. He would meet his lifelong buddy, author Harper Lee, here. With the release of his debut novel, Other Voices, Other Rooms, in 1948, Capote gained international acclaim. Breakfast at Tiffany's, A Tree of Night, The Grass Harp, Summer Crossing, A Christmas Memory, and In Cold Blood, largely regarded as one of the finest novels of the twentieth century, are among his notable works.
The O has been given to him twice. Capote was the winner of the Henry Short Story Prize, as well as a National Institute of Arts and Letters Creative Writing Award and an Edgar Award. He passed away on August 25, 1984, just shy of his sixtieth birthday.
