It takes in calculating beauties and sadistic husbands along with such real-life supporting characters as Colette, the Duchess of Windsor, Montgomery Clift, and Tallulah Bankhead. Above all, this malevolently funny book displays Capote at his most relentlessly observant and murderously witty. Paperback: 160 pages Publisher: Vintage (March 29, 1994) ISBN-13: 978-0679751823
