  • Capote is one of my favourite author, and i appreciate this work well done!!!

  • Thank you very much, I'm glad to know that you liked this little video. Truman is my favorite author too! Well I know you said he's 0NE of you favs, but still it's good to know that we share our love for him.

  • Loved the clip. where did the audio came from? Is it possible to get the full version of TC's reading 'House of Flowers' or any other story of his?

    Is it really Truman Capote's voice? It's beautiful. Why on earth did they write he had irritating high-pitched voice of a baby seal?!

  • I actually love his voice too, and when he read, I guess he was a little bit more careful about it, but I remember reading his causin saying that he was not SO effeminate until the In Cold Blood era and when he started to socialize with all those rich swans like Babe Paley, etc. This clip is all I got from House Of Flowers, I would really love to get that CD. This is a Bonus track, which is originally much longer than this.

    So glad you liked it, he really was a very interesting character.

  • A brilliant mind.

  • thank you for putting this up:D It is great to hear the man himself reading such a great story. If anyone here hasn't read 'A Christmas Memory' then do! It's beautiful.

  • Really enjoyed this. Wonderfully well done. Love Capote!

  • Actually, he was gay..

  • WOW! that was beautiful. Lol I will have to quote that on my facebook page. I wonder if Capote would Facebook> :)

  • @veeseee128 if you don't like his voice, then don't watch the video ... And if you have to ask a question about his sexuality, then you obviously are not a Capote fan and care nothing for his work but would rather remark about something the rest of us would be more inclined to leave alone ...

  • @veeseee128 First off, why are you SHOUTING? Secondly, please go back to school, it is obvious you need to learn the basics of writing. Thirdly, please go away. Forever.

  • @veeseee128 Well some say he might have had a rather close relationship with Perry... hint hint.

  • Truman Capote is one of the most important writers to me. I absolutely love his work.

  • @laniorov they wrote that because he actually did have a high-pitched strange voice that could be seen as irritating to some. I personally don't think it was irritating but can see how it could be interpreted that way.

  • @veeseee128 no.

  • HE TALK LIKE A SISSY, WAS HE GAY?
