Answered Prayers by Truman Capote
2.0
Answered Prayers consists of a few chapters that Capote envisioned being included in a whole book about his socialite friends and acquaintances. He published them first in Esquire magazine, and those friends were more than a little angry. And I can see why--Capote certainly doesn't paint them in a very gracious light.
He died before he wrote any more, which is probably for the best. Typically, I really like Capote, but this was a little much for me--mostly about the sexual and/or adulterous exploits of the elite people he knew. Tabloid/gossip fodder, straight from the mouths of the subjects. No thanks.
