Truman Capote, the author of such bestsellers as "Breakfast at Tiffany's" (a story made famous by the 1961 film adaptation starring Audrey Hepburn), "Voices of Grass", "Other Voices, Other Rooms", "Ghosts in the Sunlight" and others, is among the greatest American novelists of the XX century. The most significant work of Capote, many consider the novel "Cold Blooded Murder", based on the story of a real crime and reveals the nature of violence as a complex social and psychological phenomenon. Capote's book, an instant bestseller, gave rise to a special genre of "novel-reportage" and opened the way to the prose of Norman Mailer and Tom Wolfe. Weighted and open-mindedness of the author's position, brilliant verification of style, polyphonic image made Capote's novel a model of documentary fiction; in the list of 100 best books of the XX century according to The Guardian newspaper "Cold Blooded Murder" took 84th position. Richard Brooks' film adaptation of the same name, released immediately after the publication of Capote's novel, was nominated for four Oscars.
