The author of the books “Breakfast at Tiffany's”, “In Cold Blood”, “Other Voices, Other Rooms” Truman Capote is one of the classics of American literature of the 20th century. In his works, Capote brought to the stage clearly marginal characters, existing as if out of time, trying in vain to cope with their own phobias, the main one of which is the fear of a life that does not take into account their daydreaming, with their romantic nature, a fear that is half-conscious, even instinctive, but this makes it no less painful.
