Truman Capote: a fost un scriitor american, unul dintre cei mai importanti ai secolului XX, autor de romane, nuvele si scenarii. A inaugurat cu "In Cold Blood" genul "romanului de non-fictiune", roman-reportaj in care personajele si actiunea sunt adevarate.

Prima colaborare cu studiourile de film de la Hollywood are loc in urma ecranizarii piesei "The Grass Harp". Interesat de noua lume pe care o descopera, va scrie, singur sau in colaborare, cateva scenarii de film, teatru sau musical.

Holly Golightly had been a tenant in the apartment beneath mine. Joe Bell ran a bar round the corner that we had used to make telephone calls. He was a sour man and we weren't close except in as much as were both a pair of losers, so when he called I knew it must be about Holly.

He showed me a photograph of a Negro holding a carving that was the spitting image of Holly that had been taken by Mr Yunioshi, the Jap who had lived in the studio above mine.
