《冷血》是一部令人不寒而栗的真实犯罪“非虚构小说”，使杜鲁门·卡波特名声大噪。《冷血》是一部现代散文的开创性作品，是新闻技巧和令人回味的叙事的卓越结合，发表在《企鹅现代经典》杂志上。《冷血》充满争议又引人入胜，它重现了1959年堪萨斯州一位农民、他的妻子和两个孩子被谋杀的故事。杜鲁门·卡波特对杀戮的全面研究和随后的调查探讨了围绕这一可怕罪行的情况以及它对相关人员的影响。他的研究的中心是不道德的年轻杀手佩里·史密斯和迪克·希科克，卡波特生动地描绘了他们，他们是应该受到谴责的，但完全是可怕的人类。杜鲁门·卡波特（1924-84）出生于新奥尔良。他15岁时离开学校，随后为《纽约客》工作，这是他第一份也是最后一份固定工作。他既写小说也写非小说——短篇小说、长篇小说和中篇小说、游记、人物简介、报告文学、回忆录、戏剧和电影；他的其他作品包括《冷血》（1965年）、《变色龙的音乐》（1980年）和《回应的祈祷》（1986年），这些作品都发表在《企鹅现代经典》杂志上。如果你喜欢《冷血》，你可能会喜欢杰克·凯鲁亚克和威廉·s·巴勒斯的《河马在水箱里被煮》，这本书也收录在《企鹅现代经典》中。“这是美国梦变成了美国噩梦……通过将克拉特一家的生活和价值观与杀手们的生活和价值观并列并置，卡波特描绘了美国生活中深刻的两重性的鲜明形象。一本了不起的书。”(“观众”)。
The chilling true crime 'non-fiction novel' that made Truman Capote's name, "In Cold Blood" is a seminal work of modern prose, a remarkable synthesis of journalistic skill and powerfully evocative narrative published in "Penguin Modern Classics". Controversial and compelling, "In Cold Blood" reconstructs the murder in 1959 of a Kansas farmer, his wife and both their children. Truman Capote's comprehensive study of the killings and subsequent investigation explores the circumstances surrounding this terrible crime and the effect it had on those involved. At the centre of his study are the amoral young killers Perry Smith and Dick Hickcock, who, vividly drawn by Capote, are shown to be reprehensible yet entirely and frighteningly human. Truman Capote (1924-84) was born in New Orleans. He left school when he was fifteen and subsequently worked for The New Yorker, which provided his first - and last - regular job. He wrote both fiction and non-fiction - short stories, novels and novellas, travel writing, profiles, reportage, memoirs, plays and films; his other works include "In Cold Blood" (1965), "Music for Chameleons" (1980) and "Answered Prayers" (1986), all of which are published in "Penguin Modern Classics". If you enjoyed "In Cold Blood", you might like Jack Kerouac and William S. Burroughs' "And the Hippos were Boiled in their Tanks", also available in "Penguin Modern Classics". "It is the American dream turning into the American nightmare...By juxtaposing and dovetailing the lives and values of the Clutters and those of the killers, Capote produces a stark image of the deep doubleness of American life ...a remarkable book." ("Spectator").
