Z. Guest, Lee Radziwill-- they were the toast of midcentury New York, each beautiful and distinguished in her own way. These women captivated and enchanted Capote-- and infuriated him as well. He befriended them, received their deepest confidences, and then betrayed them in his unfinished novel, Answered Prayers, the thinly fictionalized lives (and scandals) of his closest female confidantes. Leamer shows that, in the late 1960s, Capote struggled with a crippling case of writer's block; Answered Prayers was supposed to be his magnum opus but instead banished Capote from high-society forever. -- adapted from back cover. 505 0 $a Answered Prayers -- Babe in the Woods -- Lilies of the Valley -- Slim Pickings -- The Marital Game -- The Notorious Mrs. C -- A Tub of Butter -- Gloria in Excelsis -- "She Is" -- A Guest in the House -- A Time of Reckoning -- Only Maids Fall in Love -- Divided Lives -- Princess from an Ancient Realm -- Fairy Tales -- Everything -- "Naaaah, They're Too Dumb" -- The Good Pocket -- Afterword -- The Swans. 600 10 $a Capote, Truman, $d 1924-1984 $x Friends and associates. 600 10 $a Capote, Truman, $d 1924-1984. $t Answered prayers. 651 0 $a New York (N.Y.) $x Social life and customs $y 20th century. 650 0 $a Authors, American $y 20th century $x Biography. 650 0 $a Large type books. 655 7 $a Biographies. $2 lcgft 830 0 $a Thorndike Press large print nonfiction series. 941 $a 3 945 $a lpt 952 $l FGPD194 $d 20240515010543.0 952 $l BOPG851 $d 20231010031857.0 952 $l BAPH771 $d 20220413010321.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=047F29D8BAEF11EC9A26F8612EECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b IOUInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
