Author : Truman Capote

Truman Capote was a distinguished American writer celebrated for his innovative contributions to literature, particularly in non-fiction and fiction. Among his renowned works are the novella *Breakfast at Tiffany's* (1958) and the groundbreaking *In Cold Blood* (1966), which he termed a "non-fiction novel." Born Truman Streckfus Persons in 1924 in New Orleans, he faced a tumultuous childhood marked by his parents' divorce and relocation to Alabama. After moving to New York City, where he adopted the surname Capote, he quickly made his mark as a novelist with his debut, *Other Voices, Other Rooms* (1948), which garnered significant attention. Capote's vivid storytelling and unique style earned him a prominent place in American literature, yet his later years were marred by struggles with addiction. He passed away in 1984 at the age of 59, leaving behind a legacy that includes over 20 adaptations of his work into film and television.
