Truman Capote. Dharamvir Bharati comes close with his deft handling of narrative nooks and crannies, most evident in his 1952 short novel 'Suraj ka Satvan Ghoda'. But Capote is still better, because he was self-taught. Born dirt poor in the American South, he was raised by two maiden aunts in Alabama and had one close friend in childhood, Harper Lee, who too would grow up to be a prominent novelist. In Lee's 1960 classic, To Kill a Mockingbird, Capote appears as the character, Dill. In the late 50s and early 60s, when Capote was writing In Cold Blood, Lee offered to be his research assistant and minder when they were in Kansas following the Clutter family murder trials on which the book is based. The 2005 movie Capote, with the late Philip Seymour Hoffman in the eponymous role, captures the relationship wonderfully. While Capote never fully acknowledged Lee's role in the book, many of her observations about town folk, their routines and prejudices made In Cold Blood the true crime classic it is.
