Lets’s discuss the elegant “Swans” and Truman Capote

Episode Notes In this week's episode of Orange Juice Optional, Suzanne and Michelle will explore Laurence Leamer's book "Capote's Women: A true story of love, betrayal, and a swan song for the ages." This non-fiction narrative delves into Truman Capote's intricate relationships with his high-profile female friends (who he refers to as ‘his swans’). This captivating book introduces each woman, and not only sheds light on her larger than life public persona, but also her intentionally concealed private life struggles.  Struggles that their confidant, Capote, then exposed in the 1975 Esquire article ‘La Cōte Basque 1965’.  While the true identities of the characters in this article were loosely concealed, high society and the swans understood the comparisons to real life situations.  Capote created a messy situation for himself and the swans.  Listen in today, as Suzanne and Michelle discuss this situation, and share their thoughts on this unforgettable book, Capote and his beautiful unexpecting swans.  Then before wrapping up this week’s episode, Suzanne announces that May’s book of the month is “Mostly what God does” by Savannah Guthrie. We will learn more about this book…next week. So, until then….cheers!
