Truman Capote: In Cold Blood

In Cold Blood by Truman Capote tells the story of the murder of a family in Kansas in the 1950s as a nonfiction novel or narrative journalism. The Wall Street Journal article undermines the novel, saying that Capote would not have been able to write the novel if it were not for his fruitful collaboration with detective Alvin Dewey and the Kansas Bureau of Investigation.

The story takes the perspectives of the townspeople, criminals, family members, detectives and lawyers. Violence emerges out of nowhere -- two criminals murder four complete strangers, an entire family, in cold blood without a solid motive, seeking money but not finding it. However, the narrative begs the question: does violence really emerge out of nowhere? Do criminals seek to punish complete strangers for viol...
