Ralph F. Voss is a retired professor of English from the University of Alabama. He is the author of A Life of William Inge: The Strains of Triumph, editor of Magical Muse: Millennial Essays on Tennessee Williams, and coeditor of Against the Grain: A Volume in Honor of Maxine Hairston.
“In emphasizing legacies, [Voss] spotlights Capote’s great
achievement in producing the novel, despite the gossip surrounding
its creation. The most damning of the legacies was celebrity, i.e.,
Capote’s need for it. . . . Well documented with endnotes,
black-and-white photographs, and a thorough bibliography.
Recommended.” —CHOICE
“A new book by Ralph L. Voss, Truman Capote and the Legacy of ‘In
Cold Blood,’ draws on previous literary forensics and his own
scholarship to demonstrate Capote’s shocking faithlessness to the
truth.”—Reuters
“The most useful volume yet written on this remarkable cultural
intersection of American literary genius and real-life prairie
horror. Truman Capote and the Legacy of ‘In Cold Blood’ is the best
companion volume imaginable for Capote's astonishing book.”—Kansas
