Capote in Kansas is a richly detailed story that incorporates so much fact into the telling it acquires the harsh light and intimate detail of documentary…..The characters, including Nelle’s sister Alice and Truman’s maid Myrtle and his last boyfriend Danny, are so real that they almost speak from the pages they appear in. The ancillary details, including events from the shared past of Capote and Lee and the separate adult histories of each of them, give fascinating glimpses into their private lives and into the backgrounds of their famous novels.
