that was miserable. what a beautiful, thrilling "true" book. the scenes of perry and dick on the highway were some of the most extraordinary -- trying to hitchhike, picking up the little boy and his grandpa and picking up the bottles with them.
as for "evil" in the book, reading it, i wonder if a lot of how perry and dick are painted is just how much they were willing to talk to capote. perry and capote got on great, probably, and dick and capote not so hot.
it's funny. the story's so specific, so exactingly told (invented), that i feel like i've got no way to bring it into the world i know. no metaphors present themselves. i don't know how to extrapolate from it. it's like capote brings one too deeply into the story to have any perspective. all i'm left to say is that the story's amazing, that the characters are heartbreaking and terrifying, and that capote writes crazy beautifully.
