Signature
Truman Garcia Capote[1] (/kəˈpoʊti/;[2] born Truman Streckfus Persons, September 30, 1924 – August 25, 1984) was an American novelist, screenwriter, playwright, and actor. Several of his short stories, novels, and plays have been praised as literary classics, including the novella Breakfast at Tiffany's (1958) and the true crime novel In Cold Blood (1966), which he labeled a "nonfiction novel". His works have been adapted into more than 20 films and television dramas.
Capote rose above a childhood troubled by divorce, a long absence from his mother, and multiple migrations. He had discovered his calling as a writer by the time he was eight years old,[3] and he honed his writing ability throughout his childhood. He began his professional career writing short stories. The critical success of "Miriam" (1945) attracted the attention of Random House publisher Bennett Cerf and resulted in a contract to write the novel Other Voices, Other Rooms (1948). Capote earned the most fame with In Cold Blood (1966), a journalistic work about the murder of a Kansas farm family in their home. Capote spent six years writing the book, aided by his lifelong friend Harper Lee, who wrote To Kill a Mockingbird (1960).[4]
In 1983, "Remembering Tennessee," an essay in tribute to Tennessee Williams, who had died in February of that year, appeared in Playboy magazine.
Here, at the WQXR offices, we read about, watch and listen to a lot of classical music. We created the WQXR Whole Note as a place where every morning, Monday through Friday, we will share news, videos, music and musings that have captivated us as we swim through various media streams. We hope they will captivate you, too, and perhaps inspire you to tell us what is capturing your attention in the comments below.
In 1964, Harper Lee sat down with WQXR host Roy Newquist for an interview on his show, "Counterpoint." The 11-minute interview is the only known recording of Lee discussing "To Kill a Mockingbird," and one of the last interviews she would ever give.
In the interview Lee talks about the release of the book, "I never expected that the book would sell in the first place, I was hoping for a quick and merciful death at the hands of the reviewers. But I was hoping that maybe somebody might like it well enough to give me some encouragement about it, some public encouragement." To which Newquist, responds, "I'll tell you, I think you got all the encouragement any one writer would need for a lifetime."
Indeed she did.
妮爾·哈波·李（英語：Nelle Harper Lee，1926年4月28日－2016年2月19日[1][2]），生於美國阿拉巴馬州門羅維爾，作家，其作品小說《梅岡城故事》於1960年獲普立茲獎。2007年，李獲頒美國總統自由勳章以表揚在文學上的卓越成就[3]。
生平[編輯]
哈波·李在阿拉巴馬州南部小鎮長大，與著名作家杜魯門·卡波特是童年好友。1944年，哈波·李前往蒙哥馬利就讀亨廷頓學院（1944–45年），隨後在阿拉巴馬大學攻讀法律（1945–49年）。就讀大學期間，她為學校文學雜誌寫作，向亨廷頓的《女獵手》和阿拉巴馬大學的幽默雜誌《夯土機》投稿。在兩所大學中，她都寫了有關種族歧視的作品，而這個主題在當時的校園內甚少為人討論。[4]
著作[編輯]
1960年，出版《梅岡城故事》。2015年，出版第二本小說《守望者》（Go Set a Watchman）。
