Meet the author
Truman Capote was one of the 20th century's most celebrated literary figures, whose groundbreaking "nonfiction novel" In Cold Blood established him as a master of modern prose. A brilliant and precocious talent, he began writing seriously in his teens, capturing the restless energy and hidden desires of New York society. Summer Crossing, his long-lost first novel written when he was only twenty, offers a dazzling early glimpse into the themes of love and identity that would define his iconic career.
