In Cold Blood by Truman Capote
dark
informative
fast-paced
3.5
Read for book club.
This is my first Capote book. I didn’t realize this was a literary nonfiction book, or a “non-fiction novel” (I guess they call it narrative non-fiction now).
It read like David Grann’s Killers of the Flower Moon.
The narrative portion was the conversation of the characters(?). I liked that background was provided about everyone directly involved. I feel like that created, or in my case attempted to, a sense of empathy beyond pity for the specific person.
The killers were psycho & sociopaths. I had to look at their picture.
