The published fragments of the scandalous book cost the writer a lot - he lost many friends when they recognized themselves and other celebrities in the heroes of this novel with the key.Under the brilliant, cynical and witty pen of Capote, the world of American bohemia literally comes to life - the world of huge money, satiety and sexual permissiveness. A world in which moneybags, representatives of the European aristocracy, and ambitious young men and women without a penny aspire, ready to do anything to make their way to spotlights and red carpets alike.The collection also includes autobiographical stories about Capote's childhood in Alabama: "Remembering Christmas", "Once Upon a Christmas" and "Intruder".
