The Muses Are Heard

by Capote, Truman

  • Used
  • Hardcover
  • first

Now one of the rarest of Capote's books, this comic account of a visit to Russia with the cast of Porgy & Bess at the chilly height of the Cold War, is one of the most charming pieces written by the author.

He is flexing his journalistic muscles for the genesis of In Cold Blood, with a very different and more light-hearted subject.

Slight wear to jacket edges and rubbing to surface of jacket back.
