Biography: Truman Capote - The Tiny Terror on AllMovie

In 1948, at the age of 23, Truman Capote published his first novel, Other Voices, Other Rooms, and his lyrical but arresting style and compassionate approach toward bold subject matter immediately made him a literary celebrity. He began to enjoy commercial success with the best-seller Breakfast at Tiffany's and the "non-fiction novel" In Cold Blood, but in time he became better known as a socialite and nightlife habitué rather than for his writing, and he developed a tragic addiction to alcohol and drugs which helped claim his life. Biography: Truman Capote -- The Tiny Terror is a documentary about the author's life and work produced for the A&E television network, and features interviews with Capote and his close friends as they offer a perspective on his talent, his infamous barbed wit, and his struggles with addiction and writer's block.
