“Das Städtchen Holcomb liegt auf der Weizenhochebene von West Kansas, eine weite einsame Gegend, die selbst für die anderen Kansaner " hinter dem Mond" liegt.”
**Truman Capote** was an American writer, many of whose short stories, novels, plays, and nonfiction are recognized literary classics, including the novella *Breakfast at Tiffany's* (1958) and *In Cold Blood* (1965), which he labeled a "nonfiction novel".
