Answered Prayers
The Unfinished Novel
New York : Random House, ©1987.
Format: Book
Edition: 1st ed.
Description: xxii, 180 pages ; 25 cm
Three chapters from a novel left uncompleted upon Capote's death in 1984. Although Truman Capote's last novel was unfinished at the time of his death, its surviving portions offer a devastating group portrait of the high and low society of his time. As it follows the career of a writer of uncertain parentage and omnivorous erotic tastes, Answered Prayers careens from a louche bar in Tangiers to a banquette at La Côte Basque, from literary salons to high-priced whorehouses. It takes in calculating beauties and sadistic husbands along with such real-life supporting characters as Colette, the Duchess of Windsor, Montgomery Clift, and Tallulah Bankhead. Above all, this malevolently funny book displays.
