Title: Breathtaking!
Review: If you read the first paragraph of Truman Capote's "In Cold Blood" it may seem at first to just be a descriptive opening for the book until you read it again. Those opening lines can almost be scanned as poetry because Capote has breathed his life, his unique talent into them and as you read on, you'll see all the words of this true crime story transcend ordinary writing. It is the difference between a great writer and a mediocre one, that special life-breath, that rare life- force that is the hallmark of only a few. Writing sublimely is a gift that cannot be acquired, it is incorporated in the genes. It's there, from the moment of birth. And Truman Capote had it.
