  • Truman Capote's Early Short Stories Or the Fight of a Writer to Find His
    Truman Capote’s Early Short Stories or The Fight of a Writer to Find His Own Voice Emilio Cañadas Rodríguez Universidad Alfonso X El Sabio (Madrid) Abstract Truman Capote’s early stories have not been studied in depth so far and literary studies on Truman Capote’s short stories start with his first collection “A Tree of Night and Other Stories”, published in 1949. Stories previous to 1945 such as “The Walls Are Cold”, “A Mink’s of One’s Own” or “The Shape of things” are basically to be discovered and their relevance lie on the fact of being successful narrative exercises that focus more in the construction of characters than in the action itself. They are stories to be read “on one sitting” and stories that make the reader foresee Capote’s skilful short narrative in the future. It is our aim, then, in this paper to present the first three ever written stories by Truman Capote, to analyse them and to remark their relevance for Capote’s literary universe. Dwarfed and darkened by narrative masterpieces such as In Cold Blood (1965) or Other Voices, Other Rooms (1948) , Truman Capote’s short stories have never been as acclaimed or studied as his novels. Literary critics have predominantly focussed their criticism on Capote’s work as a novelist emphasizing on the “Gothicism” and “the form of horror” in Other Voices, Other Rooms or the author’s innovative techniques in In Cold Blood.1 However, apart from the complete research of Kenneth T. Reed, there are several studies on Capote’s whole literary career like William Nance’s or Helen S.

  • Serial Historiography: Literature, Narrative History, and the Anxiety of Truth
    SERIAL HISTORIOGRAPHY: LITERATURE, NARRATIVE HISTORY, AND THE ANXIETY OF TRUTH James Benjamin Bolling A dissertation submitted to the faculty at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of English and Comparative Literature. Chapel Hill 2016 Approved by: Minrose Gwin Jennifer Ho Megan Matchinske John McGowan Timothy Marr ©2016 James Benjamin Bolling ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT Ben Bolling: Serial Historiography: Literature, Narrative History, and the Anxiety of Truth (Under the direction of Megan Matchinske) Dismissing history’s truths, Hayden White provocatively asserts that there is an “inexpugnable relativity” in every representation of the past. In the current dialogue between literary scholars and historical empiricists, postmodern theorists assert that narrative is enclosed, moribund, and impermeable to the fluid demands of history. My critical intervention frames history as a recursive, performative process through historical and critical analysis of the narrative function of seriality. Seriality, through the material distribution of texts in discrete components, gives rise to a constellation of entimed narrative strategies that provide a template for human experience. I argue that serial form is both fundamental to the project of history and intrinsically subjective. Rather than foreclosing the historiographic relevance of storytelling, my reading of serials from comic books to the fiction of William Faulkner foregrounds the possibilities of narrative to remain open, contingent, and responsive to the potential fortuities of historiography. In the post-9/11 literary and historical landscape, conceiving historiography as a serialized, performative enterprise controverts prevailing models of hermeneutic suspicion that dominate both literary and historiographic skepticism of narrative truth claims and revives an ethics responsive to the raucous demands of the past.

  • Europe in the Writings of Truman Capote Or the Steps to the Creation of the Nonfiction Novel
    EUROPE IN THE WRITINGS OF TRUMAN CAPOTE OR THE STEPS TO THE CREATION OF THE NONFICTION NOVEL Emilio Cañadas Rodríguez Universidad Camilo José Cela Last 25th August 2004, we celebrated the 20th anniversary of the death of the American writer Truman Capote and simultaneously, in the following months, two milestones in his literary career: the fortieth anniversary of Truman Capote’s publication of the first lines of his masterpiece: In Cold Blood1 and the forty-fifth anniversary of the publication of Local Color, where the author gives a very personal and distinctive portrait of Europe; a kind of reportage of a post-war continent that now, years after, has just lived the expansion of the European Community last 1st of May. Due to the celebration of these events in the following months, it is the aim of this research to study the connexion between Truman Capote and Europe: his vision, his opinion, his writings, travels and, furthermore, the importance and the transcendent role of Europe as the root for the non-fiction novel in the making of In Cold Blood. Europe has always been a recurrent topic in the history of American Literature. As a starting point for our issue, we think first of Henry James, who sent his characters to Europe searching, looking for the land of experience, looking for the “tree of knowledge”, a place to learn and a place to be refilled with that experience and that knowledge2. We think of Washington Square and how Dr. Sloper believed 1 Although the book itself was published at the turn of the year 1965, the appearance of chapters or parts of the story in The New Yorker started after the summer of 1965.First chapter on the 25th September 1965.

October 29, 1929 The Great Depression Began in October 29, 1929, yet not the worst crash in history, but one that toppled the US economy. o The entire stock market lost about 12% of its value, which is a lot What are stocks? o They are tiny pieces of a company, called “shares” that are sold to generate money for the company o These shares are traded between people and supply and demand of certain stocks makes the price go up and down o In 1929 the price of all of the stocks in market went down quickly so quickly the people who keep track of prices could not keep up So, what happened? o Farm income fell by 50% so if your family was living on a farm and it generated $10,000 a year in profit, you now had to live on only $5,000 o Factories closed, banks (who also invested in the stock market) closed and the people whose money was being kept in those banks was lost o Why?

"K.B.I. Agent Harold Nye has speculated that Capote spoke to more people connected to the murder of the Clutters than did the Bureau. These interviews took place as Capote spent the better part of four years tromping around western Kansas, amassing thousands of pages of notes. This research, however, only accounts for an element of the book’s success, for Capote transformed it with a novelist’s imagination. The result serves as a meditation on suffering as he dramatizes cherished moments from the last days of Nancy Clutter, the sleepless nights of detective Al Dewey, and the tormented thoughts of Perry Smith." --Paul Fecteau, Professor of English Washburn University, Topeka Please use this site as resource for both personal & classroom information as you read and study the book.

Those beautiful, intelligent, privileged, lonely women. They are absolutely crazy about me, and that’s a fact. Why? Because damn it, I like them. I pay attention to them. I listen. I understand their problems. I make them laugh. I tell them how to dress, what makeup to wear, what to read and who to love. When they’re miserable, I tuck them into bed and tell them bedtime stories…What they like best is something horrendous about someone impeccable. (beat) Don’t we all.” Jay Presson Allen, Tru Truman Capote’s “La Côte Basque, 1965,” a chapter from his latest book, Answered Prayers, was recently published in Esquire magazine, and his closest friends are no longer speaking to him. Capote is surprised and astonished at their silence. Alone during the holidays when his social calendar is typically busy, the consequences of his actions become clear and he calms himself with alcohol and drugs, and reminisces about his life, interesting friends, and holidays past.
