T ,- .07_ REVIEW:. IT
Described by the author as a "non
fiction novel" styled after the new French
school of writing, Truman Capote's book In
Cold Blood is presently the number one best
seller in the non-fiction category.
The product of years of research, In
7lood is the bizarre story of the
-7-
der of a well-to-do Kansan family;
d Bonnie Ciutte and two of their
chi.;_aren, fancy and Kenyon. In his unique
style, Capote gives vivid profiles of the
Cluttes, their friends and neighbors, and
their two murderers,
Capote, the sophisticated author of
Breakfast at Tiffany's, actually de , reloped
a close relationship with the murderers
after their arprehension; Perry Smith: , "Yot
in proportion to others", and Dick Fickock:
"Comr,osed of mismatch r_; parts." The
effect of this relationship is evidenced
in his book.
7ot all agree that In Cold Blood is an
artistic breathrough. In the New Roublic
J. Stanley Kauffmann contends, 117 7:Tr. - Y - .
7r'tinx, it's research." However,John
Hersey, a master of reportage in his own
ri4ht, says that In Cold Blood is
remarkable work in that it deals, as
Camus' The Stranger did, with the baf
fling madern phenomenon of people on the
edge of society. And Capote not only
documented it, but managed to bring to it
the factor of art."
At any rate, In Cold Flood is a book
that will excite and intrigue almost every
reader. A "must" to read, it is now
available in the campus library.
