Capote had a crush on Perry Smith. Otherwise a great book.
Fantastic novel. Don't consider it a 'true crime' book, as there are so many embellishments on the truth it can't have any claim to legitimacy. But that's what makes it genius. Capote shows that it is impossible for someone to be impartial in a world they are a part of, and all we can do is communicate our respective reality tunnels

everyone says this and it may be true that he did in real life, but he portrays him as the biggest self-important deluded idiot
