Fiction
In Cold Blood
A Vintage or Signet paperback of Truman Capote's 1966 account of the Clutter family murders in Holcomb, Kansas, and the capture, trial, and execution of Perry Smith and Dick Hickock. The book is widely credited with inventing the nonfiction novel, whether or not that is exactly true, and it remains the standard by which true crime is judged. The paperback format is the mass-market size that has kept it in airports and classrooms for decades. Capote spent years reporting it and never fully recovered.Ideal reader: the reader who wants crime writing that slows down instead of speeding up, or the journalist who needs a reminder that the form can accommodate pity.
