“Tru”

____________
Truman Capote, a towering XXth-Century
figure, might be remembered much more
for his personality than his considerable
literary output, “In Cold Blood“ remains
a turning point in the history of literature,
not to mention an extraordinary read
three major works have been produced
about Capote since at least 1992, when
Robert Morse won a Tony for “Tru“, my
favourite rendition, with a nod to the
superb “Infamous“, before even the
dire, Oscar-winning, “Capote“, however
deserving Philip Seymour Hoffman
might’ve been of his own award for his
brilliant work
watch “Tru“ in coordinated instalments,
no fuss, no muss, only the suspicion
you’ve missed an irretrievable and
perhaps crucial nugget in the clip
change
chill, “Tru“, however apportioned here,
is seamless, and captivating, hilarious
and, all at once, profound, not to be
ever forgotten, much as I never have
