Ich bin schwul. Ich bin süchtig. Ich bin ein Genie

In the last years of his life Truman Capote and Lawrence Grobel met several times, and an originally planned interview became this long intimate conversation. Sparkling, sharp-tongued and very personal, Capote tells about his life, talks openly about everyday things, about his writing, his problems with drugs and alcohol, his homosexuality. In addition, he takes pleasure in relentlessly talking about famous contemporaries such as John F. Kennedy, Jacqueline Onassis, Norman Mailer or Marilyn Monroe. A literary contemporary document and at the same time the indispensable key to Truman Capote's person and his work.
