Truman Capote was famous writer of the so called southern gothic genre. He was also homosexual and heavy drinker. But he wrote one good novel which isn't even a novel, but nonfiction book depicting murder of whole family by two criminals. Although it depicts real events, his literary genius managed to transform it into work of art, so it reads like a proper novel, unlike so many trash today that poses as true crime.
