Too Brief A Treat by Truman Capote

A candid, intimate collection of personal correspondence that traces a writer’s rise to fame and the strains that followed, revealing his razor-sharp wit, social ambitions, creative obsessions, close friendships and bitter feuds, and the toll of celebrity and addiction; the letters illuminate mid-20th-century literary and social life while offering an unvarnished portrait of a brilliant, often troubled artist at work and at play.
