Truman Capote was an American writer, probably best known for his novella Breakfast at Tiffany's (1958), which was adapted into a major film starring Audrey Hepburn. In 1966, he also wrote the "non-fiction novel" In Cold Blood, a true-crime story about a gruesome quadruple murder in Kansas. While he is best known for his fiction and essays, Capote did write for the stage: The Grass Harp, a 1952 play, and then House of Flowers, a 1954 Broadway musical for which he wrote the book.
