Sobre IBD

«Soy alcohólico. Soy drogadicto. Soy homosexual. Soy un genio». Éstas son las palabras con las que el propio Truman Capote se definió en un momento determinado de su existencia. Escritor precoz, abiertamente homosexual y aficionado al alcohol y a las drogas acabó suicidándose, incapaz de asumir el contraste entre el mundo que él imaginaba y la cruda realidad. Veinticinco años después de su muerte la turbulenta personalidad de este extravagante escritor continúa cautivando a los lectores, alimentando páginas y páginas de la prensa escrita y llamando la atención de la crítica. Truman Capote, un camaleón ante el espejo, se presenta como un modesto intento de reivindicar la memoria de éste no siempre brillante pero extraordinario escritor que merece ocupar un lugar más destacado en los anales de la historia literaria.
