Reviews
Advance Praise for Capote's Women "It seems we never tire of reading about Truman Capote and his fabulous Swans, and in Capote's Women , Laurence Leamer brilliantly shows us why. By weaving the details of Capote's life in and out of the fascinating origin stories of the most admired women of the 1950s and 1960s, Leamer reminds us that beauty, wealth and privilege--not to mention talent--aren't enough to guarantee a happy ending. But oh, what fun can be had along the way!" --Melanie Benjamin, New York Times bestselling author of The Swans of Fifth Avenue "Biographer Leamer ( The Kennedy Women ) showcases his knack for telling a rattling good tale in this vivid look at Truman Capote's failed attempt to write 'the greatest novel of the age.' . . . This juicy story delivers." - Publishers Weekly "Chock full of dazzling details, Capote's Women is a dishy, delicious dive into the diminutive author's female friendships. From Gloria Guinness to Slim Keith, and Babe Paley to CZ Guest, Capote's "swans," as he dubbed them, were beautiful, elegant, rich, and complicated. Larry Leamer expertly weaves the lives of these fascinating women together with Capote's struggles to finish Answered Prayers , his self-described masterpiece. In reality, Capote's final work was a messy jumble of thinly veiled secrets that these women had told him in confidence, and a base attempt at naked career advancement. Was Capote driven to this treachery by his growing alcoholism, or was it his betrayal that drove him to drink? That is the question that propels the narrative--and compels the reader to turn each gossip-laden page, anticipation building to its ultimate, gratifying conclusion." --Julie Satow, author of The Plaza: The Secret Life of America's Most Famous Hotel "This deep dive into the lives of the extraordinary women who were Truman Capote's 'swans' is an entertaining study of femininity, privilege, and heartbreak. The story of the meteoric rise--and tragic fall--of the infamous writer and his beautiful muses offers a captivating combination of first-rate gossip and solid social history. Fascinating!" --Deborah Davis, author of Party of the Century: The Fabulous Story of Truman Capote and His Black and White Ball and Gilded: How Newport Became America's Richest Resort "In a swirl of money and yearning, Laurence Leamer stitches the story of Truman Capote's life and final book-that-never-was through the glamorous lives of the women who inspired it. The rich texture and lavish detail recall a time of beauty and longing, ambition and heartbreak, and its possibilities and limitations for New York's "swans." An engrossing evocation of an era." --Julia Cooke, author of Come Fly the World: The Jet-Age Story of the Women of Pan-Am, Advance Praise for Capote's Women "This deep dive into the lives of the extraordinary women who were Truman Capote's 'swans' is an entertaining study of femininity, privilege, and heartbreak.

Synopsis
DON'T MISS FX's FEUD: CAPOTE VS. THE SWANS --THE ORIGINAL SERIES BASED ON THE BESTSELLING BOOK--NOW AVAILABLE TO STREAM ON HULU! New York Times bestselling author Laurence Leamer reveals the complex web of relationships and scandalous true stories behind Truman Capote's never-published final novel, Answered Prayers-- the dark secrets, tragic glamour, and Capote's ultimate betrayal of the group of female friends he called his "swans." "There are certain women," Truman Capote wrote, "who, though perhaps not born rich, are born to be rich." Barbara "Babe" Paley, Gloria Guinness, Marella Agnelli, Slim Hayward, Pamela Churchill, C. Z. Guest, Lee Radziwill (Jackie Kennedy's sister)--they were the toast of midcentury New York, each beautiful and distinguished in her own way. Capote befriended them, received their deepest confidences, and ingratiated himself into their lives. Then, in one fell swoop, he betrayed them in the most surprising and startling way possible. Bestselling biographer Laurence Leamer delves into the years following the acclaimed publication of Breakfast at Tiffany's in 1958 and In Cold Blood in 1966, when Capote struggled with a crippling case of writer's block. While enjoying all the fruits of his success, he was struck with an idea for what he was sure would be his most celebrated novel...one based on the remarkable, racy lives of his very, very rich friends. For years, Capote attempted to write Answered Prayers , what he believed would have been his magnum opus. But when he eventually published a few chapters in Esquire , the thinly fictionalized lives (and scandals) of his closest female confidantes were laid bare for all to see, and he was banished from their high-society world forever. Laurence Leamer re-creates the lives of these fascinating swans, their friendships with Capote and one another, and the doomed quest to write what could have been one of the greatest novels of the twentieth century.
