CommentaryThis year marks the centenary of Truman Capote's birth (and my father's, too!), so it seems like a good time to reflect on his legacy. And this is especially the case since he's as much in the news now as when he died in 1984, what with the hubbub surrounding a new book, "Capote's Women" and the series based on it, "Feud: Capote vs. The Swans." This current revival centers on the fallout from Capote's "La Cote Basque, 1965," the second chapter from his unfinished novel, "Answered Prayers."
