Truman Capote (1924-1984) was a celebrated American author whose major works include Other Voices, Other Rooms; Breakfast at Tiffany's; and In Cold Blood. John O'Shea (John Matthew O'Shea, 1929-2014) was a married Long Island banker who became Truman Capote's lover and business manager in the early summer of 1973. The Truman Capote papers regarding "Houston Diary," 1973-1974, consist of materials pertaining to Capote's writing interest in the mass murders committed in Houston, Texas by Dean Corll, discovered in August 1973, and his intended coverage of the 1974 trial of Elmer Wayne Henley, one of Corll's accomplices. Capote's trial coverage was to be syndicated by the Washington Post under the title "Houston Diary," but the project did not come to fruition. The collection, created in part and apparently maintained by John O'Shea, contains letters received by Truman Capote from members of the press; two holograph manuscripts by Truman Capote relating to the Washington Post project; O'Shea's business papers concerning publishing negotiations, chiefly with the Post; a scrapbook of newspaper and magazine clippings; loose clippings; and photographs. Correspondents include Washington Post editor Ben Bradlee and Village Voice journalist Arthur Bell. less
