\n DON\u2019T MISS FX\u2019s FEUD: CAPOTE VS. THE SWANS\u2014THE ORIGINAL SERIES BASED ON THE BESTSELLING BOOK\u2014NOW AVAILABLE TO STREAM ON HULU!<\/p>\n

New York Times bestselling author Laurence Leamer reveals the complex web of relationships and scandalous true stories behind Truman Capote’s never-published final novel, Answered Prayers\u2014the dark secrets, tragic glamour, and Capote’s ultimate betrayal of the group of female friends he called his “swans.”<\/p>\n

\u201cThere are certain women,\u201d Truman Capote wrote, \u201cwho, though perhaps not born rich, are born to be rich.\u201d Barbara \u201cBabe\u201d Paley, Gloria Guinness, Marella Agnelli, Slim Hayward, Pamela Churchill, C. Z. Guest, Lee Radziwill (Jackie Kennedy\u2019s sister)\u2014they 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.<\/p>\n

Bestselling biographer Laurence Leamer delves into the years following the acclaimed publication of Breakfast at Tiffany\u2019s in 1958 and In Cold Blood in 1966, when Capote struggled with a crippling case of writer\u2019s block. While en\u00adjoying all the fruits of his success, he was struck with an idea for what he was sure would be his most celebrated novel\u2026one based on the re\u00admarkable, racy lives of his very, very rich friends.<\/p>\n

For years, Capote attempted to write An\u00adswered Prayers, what he believed would have been his magnum opus. But when he eventually published a few chapters in Esquire, the thinly fictionalized lives (and scandals) of his closest fe\u00admale 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. <\/p>\n
