Truman Capote byl americký spisovatel, herec a novinář. Po rozvodu rodičů o něj od jeho čtyř let pečovali příbuzní, což také velmi ovlivnilo jeho tvorbu. Již během školní docházky vytvořil první literární dílka, v deseti letech se zúčastnil literární soutěže. Přesto jeho cesta k tomu, aby byl profesionálním spisovatelem, vedla přes práci tanečníka, pomocné síly v redakci časopisu, herce, atd.

„Více slz bývá prolito nad vyslyšenými modlitbami, než nad nevyslyšenými.“
— Truman Capote
Epigraf (nedokončený)
„People who are having a love-sex relationship are continuously lying to each other because the very nature of the relationship demands that they do, because you have to make a love object of this person, which means that you editorialize about them. You know? You cut out what you don't want to see, you add this if it isn't there. And so therefore you're building a lie. But in a friendship you don't do that. You do exactly the reverse. You try more and more to be as completely pure and straight as you can be.“
— Truman Capote

„Finding the right form for your story is simply to realize the most natural way of telling the story. The test of whether or not a writer has divined the natural shape of his story is just this: after reading it, can you imagine it differently, or does it silence your imagination and seem to you absolute and final? As an orange is final. As an orange is something nature has made just right.“
— Truman Capote
From a 1957 interview
„All writing, all art, is an act of faith. If one tries to contribute to human understanding, how can that be called decadent? It's like saying a declaration of love is an act of decadence. Any work of art, provide it springs from a sincere motivation to further understanding between people, is an act of faith and therefore is an act of love.“
— Truman Capote
From a 1952 interview
„She had said she was afraid of Perry, and she was, but was it simply Perry she feared, or was it a configuration of which he was part [... ]? The eldest, the brother she loved, had shot himself; Fern had fallen out of a window, or jumped; and Perry was committed to violence, a criminal.“
— Truman Capote
