Meet the author
Truman Capote was a principal architect of the nonfiction novel and one of the most celebrated, and controversial, figures in 20th-century American literature. His unparalleled ability to blend journalistic fact with literary prose was honed over decades of observing high society and its hidden undercurrents. Music for Chameleons represents the final evolution of this style, a collection where Capote turned his sharp, empathetic eye on both himself and the strange, beautiful truths he found in the lives of others.
