Found 2 collections related to Capote, Truman, 1924-1984

The papers of Truman Capote consist chiefly of holograph (handwritten) and typescript manuscripts of his works, both published and unpublished. The collection also includes correspondence, printed matter, photographs, artwork, sound recordings, and personal miscellany. Material related to In Cold Blood forms an important part of the collection and reflects Capote's five years of research and involvement in the Clutter murder case upon which the book was based. The bulk of the correspondence consists of letters and postcards from Capote to Andrew Lyndon; Alvin Dewey and Marie Dewey; and letters received from his lover and mentor, Newton Arvin. Other correspondents include Jack Dunphy, Leo Lerman, Donald Windham, Cecil Beaton, John O'Shea Joseph Fox, Irving Lazar, Alan Schwartz, and family members. less
