Capote in Kansas by Ande Parks

3.0

Apparently, they are republishing this graphic novel account of Truman Capote's research in Kansas as he created his classic, In Cold Blood. I spotted an e-galley on Netgalley available as "read now" so I downloaded and read it almost instantly. I'm a big fan of graphic novels and I like non-fiction comics particularly, so I liked seeing this one. In Cold Blood was assigned reading in my high school AP Psychology class and I really enjoyed it. I remember our teacher briefly discussing the creating of the book and Capote's complicated relationship with the men convicted. I don't really know terribly much about it, so I was interested in reading this version and seeing what seemed like it could be true and what not so much. I think the illustration style suits the story well and I liked the sometimes randomness of the unravelling of the story. I'd definitely like to hear more about this history.
