Capote's classic account of the Kansas murder said to be among the first 'literary journalism' genre.

Not my typical reading choice but found this eerily fascinating. Interesting character study of the two murderers.

I never knew what Truman Capote was famous for, but after reading this book, it is clear. He should be one of the classic American authors that you have to read in school.
