Helten, Michael: Truman Capote s Nonfiction Novel "In Cold Blood" and Bennett Miller s Biopic "Capote" A Comparison, GRIN VERLAG, Februar 2010, Besorgungstitel - vorauss. Lieferzeit 3-5 Tage. ISBN: 3640526155
When In Cold Blood was first published, critics had a hard time categorizing the book. Capote himself held that he had written a nonfiction novel (Capote in Plimpton 1966: 2) and that he had thereby created an altogether new genre. In the subtitle, Capote stresses his central claim regarding this new genre, assuring the reader that what she is about to delve into is a true account of a multiple murder and its consequences (Capote 2000 [1966]). As will be seen in the opening chapter, criticism of In Cold Blood has therefore to a great degree revolved around Capote's and the book's adherence to this assertion of truth. The Shorter Oxford English Dictionary on Historical Principles (SOED) lists as the three first entries under the head word true: true /tru:/1 Steadfast in allegiance, loyal; faithful, constant (...).2 Honest, honourable, upright, virtuous; straightforward, sincere (...).3 Of a statement, report, etc.: consistent with fact; conforming with reality (...).The following investigation of In Cold Blood and of the biopic based on Capote's work on the book, Bennett Miller's Capote (2005), will proceed along the lines of these three aspects of the definition, questioning Capote's claim of rendering a true account.The genre chapter and large parts of the ensuing discussion of In Cold Blood will be especially concerned with the definition's third aspect, In Cold Blood's consistency with fact and its conformity with reality. The question will be raised as to whether or not a true account of real events is possible at all, and in what ways Capote and other writers of New Journalism, as the genre is most frequently called today, have tried to achieve such true accounts.

Halfmann, Miriam: The bastards are making it up! Forms of New Journalism in Norman Mailer s The Armies of the Night and Truman Capote s In Cold Blood, TECTUM-VERLAG, Juli 2011, Besorgungstitel - vorauss. Lieferzeit 3-5 Tage. ISBN: 3828824242
Journalism is commonly thought of as objective, neutral, unbiased. However, there was a time when these notions were heavily contested - even by reporters themselves. The American 1950s and 1960s were earth-shattering decades in every major respect: socially, politically, and culturally. Changes in these fields shook the nation and triggered events that to many people were extreme to the point they seemed unreal. Desperate times called for desperate measures: Soon, journalists traded their signature style of reporting for a style that read like fiction. They increasingly acknowledged those bizarre times by 'fictionalizing' their works, even producing whole volumes on the events they covered: New journalism was born. Miriam Halfmann explores the main works of the two most luminous figures on the scene: Norman Mailer's The Armies of the Night and Truman Capote's In Cold Blood. She contextualizes the novels within a historical and a journalistic framework, and furthermore provides a general introduction to new journalism. The author takes a close look at the different writing styles as expressed in narrative technique, figurative language, and form. How did these authors cope with an elusive reality What did their new journalism(s) do to the conventional journalism/literature dichotomy And, what happened when those bastards were 'making it up'
