Truman Capote

Truman Capote (1924–1984) was one of the most celebrated and self-destructive writers in American literary history. A prodigy who published his first novel, Other Voices, Other Rooms, at twenty-three, he became as famous for his personality as for his prose—a fixture of New York society, a talk-show raconteur, and the host of the legendary Black and White Ball of 1966.
