Molly Ringwald and Griffin Dunne read from Truman Capote’s pathbreaking work, alongside a special conversation on his life and legacy in celebration of his centenary.
From his beautifully decadent Southern gothic debut Other Voices, Other Rooms to his sparkling New York novella Breakfast at Tiffany’s to his gripping, groundbreaking true crime account In Cold Blood, “the best documentary account of an American crime ever written” (The New York Review of Books), Truman Capote was an American original and a profoundly original prose stylist, a writer of the first order. He was also larger than life — from his legendary Black and White Ball masquerade parties to films like the iconic Breakfast at Tiffany’s starring Audrey Hepburn (1961), biopics like the Academy Award-winning Capote starring Philip Seymour Hoffman (2005), and Ryan Murphy’s series Feud: Capote Vs. The Swans starring Tom Hollander and Molly Ringwald (2024), Capote has long been the subject of fascination in American culture on and off the page.
In celebration of his centenary, hear a special reading of his work from acclaimed actors Molly Ringwald and Griffin Dunne, followed by a conversation with bestselling authors Jay McInerney, John Burnham Schwartz, and Sloane Crosley in conversation with group of actors and writers — all marked by Capote’s towering literary influence and spellbinding personal mythology.
