Why should you read Handcarved Coffins by Truman Capote ?


The first reason is because it is a sensational story of a murder.

It is more precisely a series of murders. It is a captivating, catching, fascinating, and amazing story. It could seem basic at first glance – a mysterious case with a serial killer where every victim has received a handcarved coffin – but it is not.

Secondly, there is the amazing description written by Truman Capote.

His style is so modern, and so unique. You read it and you truly feel like you are watching a movie.

Thirdly, you should read it because it has been written by Truman Capote, the great Truman Capote who has delighted generations and generations of passionate readers with his short stories and novels.

To say the truth, I have only read the first 70 pages of this book. But I can assure you that you will not waste your time if you decide to follow my advice.

Believe me. You will, indeed, be enchanted by the singular prose of Truman Capote.

Read it in English, of course !
