-Descripcion Original:

Although Truman Capotes 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 Cote 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 finny book displays Capote at his most relentlessly observant and murderously witty.
