Capote's Women: A True Story of Love, Betrayal, and… door Laurence Leamer
An interesting look at the women Truman Capote called his 'swans'.. Lots of details, lots of gossip sbout their lifestyles, affairs etc. Quick read and well written.
I got this audiobook after seeing some of the promotional information and photos for the TV series Feud: Capote vs. The Swans. It’s based in this book and I’ve recorded the series but wanted to listen to the book first.
It’s partly a biography of Capote and partly mini biographies of the wealthy socialites he befriended and dubbed “Swans”. It’s very much a story of an era and social class of people that are far from my own experiences.
I was familiar with Capote and some of the women in the book but many were unknown to me. Most of them married multiple times and were ridiculously wealthy jet setters. When Capote betrayed their friendships and published a story featuring extremely thinly veiled portrayals of some of the women who considered him a loyal friend their friendships were shattered.
It’s interesting in an in- depth celebrity magazine style. These people lived luxurious lifestyles but also lived out the idea that money can’t buy happiness.
The book was interesting and I’ll be curious to find out how the TV series compares.
Carrington MacDuffie does a great job of narrating and I would not hesitate to get another book narrated by her.… (meer)
