Capote's retelling of the murders of the Clutter family in Kansas in 1959 certainly blurs the lines between fact and fiction. The events leading up to the murders are told novelistically, based on interviews, though much imagination was involved. In the end, I found myself surprised at just how dry and passionless the writing was.
