I had a great interview with Stu; hope you all will listen to it. He wrote this about the book: “Capote in Kansas: A Ghost Story, is an evocative and provocative fantasia about Truman Capote, Nelle Harper Lee and their lives before and after In Cold Blood. Novelist Kim Powers, author of the moving memoir The History of Swimming, joins me for a conversation about these two childhood chums who went on to lead extraordinary literary lives.”

Stretching Exercises: How I Became Someone Else in My Fiction
Date: Sunday, November 4, 2007
Time: 11:00 - 12:00
Location: Capitol Extension Room E2.012
We want fiction to compel us to enter the lives of other people, no matter how grounded in realism or minimalist the author’s writing may be. This session features a writer whose protagonist is a ventriloquist’s dummy; another whose protagonist is a teddy bear on the wrong side of the Homeland Security Department; one whose protagonists are adolescent African-Americans in the Civil Rights era, even though the writer is neither African-American nor adolescent; and another who re-imagines what took place in rural Kansas between Truman Capote and Harper Lee when they were researching the story that became In Cold Blood, even though two relatively recent movies have established what happened in Kansas in the public imagination. We’re celebrating the power of the literary imagination at this session, and finding out exactly what it took for these writers to stretch their minds in vibrant and eloquent ways.
