Email: Truman Capote [MG]

Read or see Helter Skelter, it's chilling stuff.

Mouth water[ing], um, wrong image. (Reminds me of a Family Guy episode where Stewie has just won a leading role in a play but asks if anyone has some Scope. Yeww!) Capote was like Sinclair Lewis: an acerbic wit, so oft-hated by his barbs' targets. He was an incredibly gifted writer who dissipated himself on the cocktail circuit (which is a horrible double-entendre, I now realize).
