    This book was the first of its kind, which is in the 'true crime novel' genre.

    Capote got a bit of flack for it at first as I recall, but that man knew exactly how to give flack back, times-squared, so I guess he did alright --at least for a while.

    As far as I know, Capote is known for nothing but this one book, which must have been galling if much time passed between it and Capote's death.

    I read it soon after it came out, and though I felt a certain amount of shock [this happens in rural America?] I also couldn't put the book down. It was well-written.
