<b>Although Truman Capote's last novel was unfinished at the time of his death, its surviving portions offer a devastating group portrait of the high and low society of his time. • Includes the story <i>La Cote Basque</i> featured in the major FX series </b><i><b>Feud: Capote Vs. the Swans.</b><br></i><b> <b><br>"Prose that makes the heart sing and the narrative fly." —<i>The New York Times Book Review</i></b><br> </b><br>Tracing the career of a writer of uncertain parentage and omnivorous erotic tastes, <i>Answered Prayers </i>careens from a louche bar in Tangiers to a banquette at La Côte Basque, from literary salons to high-priced whorehouses. It takes in calculating beauties and sadistic husbands along with such real-life supporting characters as Colette, the Duchess of Windsor, Montgomery Clift, and Tallulah Bankhead. Above all, this malevolently funny book displays Capote at his most relentlessly observant and murderously witty.
