Dear Reader, Was Boo Radley a real person? Why didn't Harper Lee write another book after To Kill a Mockingbird? What did she see in Kansas, working with Truman Capote on In Cold Blood, that changed her life forever? Did the ghosts of the murdered Clutters ever visit the writers who brought them back to life? Or are the ghosts that haunt Capote and Lee all too human? Those questions shape my new novel, CAPOTE IN KANSAS: A GHOST STORY, a "fantasia" about the inescapable memories that bring Capote and Lee together one last time, in the final year of Capote's life. But more than that, it's about all our childhoods: playing outside barefoot, the haunted houses we lived in, and the even scarier world world of grown-ups and secrets. Publishers Weekly calls it "offbeat" and "intriguing"; The Advocate "dark and captivating." Entertainment Weekly says: "Powers astutely summons the intense sorrow behind a life-long friendship gone awry." And Oscar Hijuelos writes it "will haunt you long after the last page." Now, five readers have a chance to win an autographed copy, AS WELL AS several cut pages nobody but my editor ever saw (!), AND pictures of Truman Capote's mysterious "snake boxes" that inspired the book. You can find out how – and read about my memoir The History of Swimming -- at my website, kimpowersbooks.com. Happy haunting – I mean...reading, Kim Powers |
