From Kultur comes Great Writers. Combining archival footage with commentary, the seven-volume series highlights the lives and careers of some of the 20th century's most accomplished wordsmiths. Great Writers: Truman Capote focuses on the life and experiences that influenced the writing of Southern author Truman Capote. Capote wrote several works of fiction, including Breakfast at Tiffany's and The Grass Harp, though he is probably best known for the fact-based novel In Cold Blood. Released in 2001, the program runs 45 minutes. The other Great Writers videos are Great Writers: Jack London, Great Writers: Tennessee Williams, Great Writers: Isaac Bashevis Singer, Great Writers: Alberto Moravia, Great Writers: Jean Cocteau, and Great Writers: Jorge Luis Borges.
