reviewed Party Of The Century on October 07, 2011 Party Of The Century
Perhaps it is just me, but I loved this book and found it to be fascinating. I developed an interest in Truman Capote after seeing the film "Capote". I am also a huge fan of Harper Lee and found out about Truman's relationship to her and the famous group of woment he called his "Swans". Truman Capote was a complicated man, small in stature yet huge in EGO. He was a master manipulator on one hand and a very lonely, insecure man on the other. He was in to using people to his own benefit, whether they be his friends or enemies. Some went from being friends to being enemies when they caught on to him. The party that is central to the book takes one back to a time of opulence, glitz and glamor in Manhattan and the Plaza Hotel during it's heyday. For me it was a fun read and a book I will re-read when I find it in my stacks. (I bought the thing)
