Truman Capote A visit with Capote A visit with Capote In Cold Blood

Horizontal and Vertical Writing Journalism and the New Journalism Novel – Faction/nonfiction novel Trailer Teaser for the news report In Cold Blood: Returning to the Scene of the Crime (getting the whole story, whatever that means) In Cold Blood: Returning to the Scene of the Crime Scope and depth – Scope-extent or range; aim or purpose; the amount of stories covered – Depth-the immersion in detail

Journalism Nightly news: lots of scope, not a lot of depth – Purpose---informative; sensationalism; factual – Goal---objectivism Nonfiction novel: combo of journalism and storytelling – Purpose---go into depth of the facts – Goal---sell books “True Crime Novel” – Faction---combine factual accuracy of journalism with the emotive impact of fiction – Outcome---the closer one gets to the subject matter, the less objective he becomes More depth, less objectivity

In Cold Blood Not a story about the murders but rather a story about the crime and its criminals Unveiled in multiple perspectives to begin Shifts to focus on Perry Smith, one of the killers Attempt to understand the thinking of the killers; sympathetic treatment of subject matter

Juxtaposition and Organization 1950s family with dysfunctional world of killers One a collision course driven by “fate” – Willie Jay not being there Alternating glances of both creating a simultaneity of events
