Op dit moment geen Discussie gesprekken over dit boek. �� Dividido en tres partes, se trata de una obra que el autor calificaba como de literatura documental, pues se trata de textos basados en experiencias o hechos reales. La primera parte ("Música para camaleones") la compone una serie de relatos cortos, que oscilan entre historias de viajes, curiosas, autobiográficas, emotivas. A continuación se incluye la novela corta "Ataúdes tallados a mano" (también conocida por el nombre "Ataúdes de artesanía" ) -ver ficha-. Por último, la parte más interesante ("Conversaciones y retratos") en la que el autor conversa con diferentes personas, desde estrellas de cine (Marilyn Monroe, en su famoso texto "Una adorable criatura") hasta un condenado a muerte ("Y luego ocurrió todo"). Capote incluso se atreve a autoentrevistarse, en su irónico y surrealista "Vueltas nocturnas. O experiencias sexuales de dos gemelos siameses". Music for Chameleons. New writing is a somewhat uneven, but interesting collection of short fiction, or perhaps better say short prose. Truman Capote is most famous for his novel In cold blood which is often described as nonfiction. This collection of "new writing" contains a long prose text "Handcarved coffins", subtitles 'A nonfiction account of an American crime' which deploys the same technique. It is an exciting, and intriguing story. The most memorable other story in this collection is the title story "Music for Chameleons" for it's startling idea. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe
Onderscheidingen
In these gems of reportage Truman Capote takes true stories and real people and renders then with the stylistic brio we expect from great fiction. Here we encounter an exquisitely preserved Creole aristocrat sipping absinthe in her Martinique salon; an enigmatic killer who sends his victims announcements of their forthcoming demise; and a proper Connecticut householder with a ruinous obsession for a twelve-year-old girl he has never met. And we meet Capote himself, who, whether he is smoking with his cleaning lady or trading sexual gossip with Marilyn Monroe, remains one of the most elegant, malicious, yet compassionate writers to train his eye on the social fauna of our time.
