It started with the want to watch "breakfast at Tiffany's", my team leader who went on maternity leave talking about the way Capote writes, the way he writes about factual literature... And then I bought the DVD of "breakfast at tiffany's" and realise the literature implications, the reflection of society then, the controversy it must have caused.
Then it took one sick/injured/snuggled into bed moment to open up the compilation of Capote's literatures book that my team leader lent me, and started reading again... And there, I'm hooked... Starting on that book turned me to a Truman Capote fan.
I wont go into the details of Capote... so I will leave it to Wikipedia to be the tour guide... Come on, a little bit of reading is healthy... =)
