The Malleability of Nonfiction in Truman Capote’s In Cold Blood

Write an analytical paper about Truman Capote’s In Cold Blood. The paper must STUDY ONLY THIS TEXT, and therefore must CITE ONLY THIS TEXT. Evidence

of Capote’s approach to new journalism as a narrative fictionalization of true events must be found and analyzed within plot elements as well as

Capote’s use of language. An example which ought to be studied for its new journalistic narrative elements are Dr. Jones’ non-testimony during the

trial; Capote’s omniscient ability to predict what Dr. Jones would have said, and to see inside his head, so to speak, is typical of New Journalism

in which ways? The malleability of nonfiction defines Capote’s forerunning style of New Journalism; show how.
