Capote, Truman

Also known as Truman Streckfus Persons
American author

At the age of six Capote's parents abandoned him to the care of four elderly, unmarried maternal cousins, three sisters and a brother, living together. He was a high-school dropout, apprenticed as a fortune teller, and started his literary career as an office boy at the offices of the New Yorker magazine.

His books include In Cold Blood, A Christmas Memory and Breakfast at Tiffany's.
