Kurzbeschreibung
At the centre of Music for Chameleons is Handcarved Coffins, a ‘nonfiction novel’ based on the brutal crimes of a real-life murderer.Taking place in a small Midwestern town in America, it offers chilling insights into the mind of a killer and the obsession of the man bringing him to justice. Also in this volume are six short stories and seven ‘conversational portraits’ including a touching one of Marilyn Monroe, the ‘beautiful child’ and a hilarious one of a dope-smoking cleaning lady doing her rounds in New York.

Format:Taschenbuch
This book cleverly displays Capote's most interesting short fiction works and a finely crafted true murder story entitled "Handcarved Coffins." Capote once again shows how illustrative his words and phrasings can be from the author's only book dedicated completely to his short works.
Format:Taschenbuch
Truman Capote is one of my favorite authors, and this book did not fail to impress me with its eloquence and humor. This novel embodies the simplicity, yet also the striking beauty of his writing. It both touches and intrigues me because of the truth that it depicts.
Format:Taschenbuch
Music For Chameleons, a collection of short non-fiction pieces, is an example of Truman Capote at his finest. Whether he is documenting a bizarre murder case, relating a day spent with Marilyn Monroe, or describing divine intervention in the form of Pearl Bailey, Capote is always captivating. His prose is simple and direct, yet rich in imagery, and simply beautiful.

Handcarved Coffins is the only one worth reading
Capote had pretty much destroyed himself by the time this volume was first published, still Handcarved Coffins is an extremely powerful piece of writing and worth getting.

A book you'll want to keep and read several times.
Truman Capote at his best with his short stories. Like his style much better than Hemingway's.

A literature sandwich
Yeah, on either side of the meat, Handcarved Coffins (which is fantastic), this is a mediocre book, for Capote anyway. But it's well worth it. Lesen Sie weiter...
