Truman Capote (1924-1984) was a fascinating, entertaining, and much ballyhooed American character who came of age in the mid-Twentieth Century. Some would say he led a tragic life. Often described as a notable novelist, he was more generally a polymath dabbling in nonfiction between his parties. He also was a screenwriter, playwright, actor, and short-story writer. His literary classics include the novella (1958, movie 1961) and true crime nonfiction "novel" (as Capote described it) (1965, movie 1967). These two efforts became his most famous. But what about his poetry? Was this one of his creative passions?
杜鲁门·卡波特(1924-1984 年)是一位令人着迷、风趣幽默且备受赞誉的美国人物,他在 20 世纪中期崭露头角。有人说他的一生充满悲剧色彩。他通常被描述为一位杰出的小说家,但实际上他是一个涉猎广泛的通才,在参加派对之余还涉猎非小说类作品。他还是一位编剧、剧作家、演员和短篇小说作家。他的文学经典作品包括中篇小说《冷血》(1958 年,电影 1961 年)和真实犯罪非小说类“小说”(正如卡波特所描述的那样)《凶杀之街》(1965 年,电影 1967 年)。这两部作品使他声名远扬。但是,他的诗歌呢?这是他的创作激情之一吗?
