In Capote's ninth book, he creates a new literary form -- the non-fiction novel. This book is considered to be the one of most important and influential books of creative non-fiction by an American writer in buying his time. From the DJ - On November 15, 1959, four members of the Clutter family were savagely murdered by blasts from a shotgun held a few inches from their faces. There was no apparent motive for the crime, and there were almost no clues. Five years, four months and twenty-nine days later, on April 14, 1965, Richard Eugene Hickock, aged thirty-three, and Perry Edward Smith, aged thirty-six, were hanged for the crime on a gallows in a warehouse in the Kansas State Penitentiary. First printing of classic true crime book that catapulted Truman Capote to fame. Basis for the ice cold 1967 documentary-style film directed by Richard Brooks and starring Robert Blake and Scott Wilson. A very handsome BOMC edition.
