1959年11月,美国堪萨斯州发生了一起灭门血案,一个名叫赫伯特·威廉·克拉特的农场主和他的妻子及两个十几岁的孩子被人在家里用猎枪打死。作家杜鲁门·卡波特受《纽约客》之约跟踪调查这一案件。历经6年多,在6000多页笔记的基础上,卡波特完成了《冷血》。小说一出版,立即引起了轰动,成为当年美国最畅销的书之一。直到如今,这部书还被列在《纽约时报》畅销书排行榜上。卡波特,这位欧·亨利短篇小说奖三次获得者、著名影片《蒂凡尼的早餐》的编剧,达到了自己文学生涯的顶点。
In November 1959, a murderous assault took place in Kansas, United States. A farmer named Herbert William Crat and his wife and two teenage children were shot at home with a shotgun. Writer Truman Capote is subject to a “New Yorker” contract to investigate the case. After more than 6 years, based on more than 6,000 page notes, Capoteur completed the “Cold Blood.” As soon as the novel was published, it immediately caused a sensation and became one of the best-selling books in the United States that year. Until now, the book was also listed in the New York Times bestseller list. Capote, the three-time winner of the O. Henry Short Story Prize, the screenwriter for the famous film Tiffany’s Breakfast, culminated in his literary career.
