I am only familiar with 'In Cold Blood'. I read it and thought it was a very good book. It was tastefully written, especially considering the fact that Capote seemed to have lived much of his life in the fast lane. However, I noticed a few inconsistencies between what was written in this book and what was suggested in the recent film 'Capote'.
I watched 'Breakfast at Tiffany's', based on a piece of Capote's work, possibly a short story. I really did not connect with the story, even though I like Audrey Hepburn as an actress.
Capote reminds me somewhat of Albert Camus in that he was essentially a journalist and newpaper writer, not an author of books. Apart from the one main book for which each of the two writers is known, I am not sure how many other novels they have written. Both seemed to specialize more in short stories and essays.

"Other Voices, Other Rooms"--His first novel clearly reveals his genius and his amazing talent as a writer. He demonstrates his incredible capacity to write prose that astonishes and envelopes you. He always had an exceptional ability to write lovely sentences that shimmer, linger, and powerfully evoke the essence and detail of what he is describing or relating.

Definitely "In Cold Blood" - a very chilling account of a very real crime.

to me the Grass Harp is my favorite but to him and the publishing world In cold blood was his best. It ruined him but to the publishing world he created a whole new genre. True crime. I also enjoyed Breakfast at Tiffinany's..No matter where you are in life you can always dream that life will be better
