HTML:<b>DON’T MISS FX’s <i>FEUD: CAPOTE VS. THE SWANS</i>—THE ORIGINAL SERIES BASED ON THE BESTSELLING BOOK—NOW AVAILABLE TO STREAM ON HULU!<br /> <i>New York Times</i> bestselling author Laurence Leamer reveals the complex web of relationships and scandalous true stories behind Truman Capote's never-published final novel, <i>Answered Prayers—</i>the dark secrets, tragic glamour, and Capote's ultimate betrayal of the group of female friends he called his "swans."</b><br /> “There are certain women,” Truman Capote wrote, “who, though perhaps not born rich, are born to be rich.” Barbara “Babe” Paley, Gloria Guinness, Marella Agnelli, Slim Hayward, Pamela Churchill, C. Z. Guest, Lee Radziwill (Jackie Kennedy’s sister)—they were the toast of midcentury New York, each beautiful and distinguished in her own way. Capote befriended them, received their deepest confidences, and ingratiated himself into their lives. Then, in one fell swoop, he betrayed them in the most surprising and startling way possible.<br /> Bestselling biographer Laurence Leamer delves into the years following the acclaimed publication of <i>Breakfast at Tiffany’s</i> in 1958 and <i>In Cold Blood</i> in 1966, when Capote struggled with a crippling case of writer’s block. While enjoying all the fruits of his success, he was struck with an idea for what he was sure would be his most celebrated novel…one based on the remarkable, racy lives of his very, very rich friends.<br /> For years, Capote attempted to write <i>Answered Prayers</i>, what he believed would have been his magnum opus. But when he eventually published a few chapters in <i>Esquire</i>, the thinly fictionalized lives (and scandals) of his closest female confidantes were laid bare for all to see, and he was banished from their high-society world forever. Laurence Leamer re-creates the lives of these fascinating swans, their friendships with Capote and one another, and the doomed quest to write what could have been one of the greatest novels of the twentieth century.
