Description
Truman Capote's closest confidantes were the women who captivated him with their beauty, wit, and high society charm. From Barbara 'Babe' Paley to Lee Radziwill, they were the epitome of mid-century New York's elite.
When Capote's magnum opus, Answered Prayers, was published, it sparked a literary scandal that incinerated his friendships and banished him from their world forever. In Capote's Women, Laurence Leamer delves into the true story behind this infamous literary scandal, weaving a tale of friendship, intrigue, and betrayal.
This book is a fascinating exploration of the high-stakes world of 1950s New York, where the lines between loyalty and betrayal were constantly blurred.
