Although Truman Capote's last, unfinished novel offers a
devastating group portrait of the high and low society of his time.
Tracing the career of a writer of uncertain parentage and
omnivorous erotic tastes, "Answered Prayers "careens from a louche
bar in Tangiers to a banquette at La Cote Basque, from literary
salons to high-priced whorehouses. It takes in calculating beauties
and sadistic husbands along with such real-life supporting
characters as Colette, the Duchess of Windsor, Montgomery Clift,
and Tallulah Bankhead. Above all, this malevolently finny book
displays Capote at his most relentlessly observant and murderously
witty.
