Author is Dan McAdams, publisher Oxford. It's part of the same Inner Lives Series as Capote.

I learned a lot from your book, some of it vaguely suspected from observation of Capote and other reading, and I'm interested in reading more psychobiography now. I'll look for your new one, come September. All the best.Sam https://www.blogger.com/profile/17448913705757509608noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38656633.post-46879036565428491752011-05-18T08:33:34.033-05:002011-05-18T08:33:34.033-05:00I just today happened upon your review at amazon.c...I just today happened upon your review at amazon.com, then clicked through to this link. Thanks very much! I'm happy you liked the book. It was a breeze to write which, at the time, I felt was a positive sign. I've got another psychobiography coming out in September, by the way, on photographer Diane Arbus. Anyway, your review made my day.

Maybe that's because it confirmed what I already pretty much thought, however.Sam https://www.blogger.com/profile/17448913705757509608noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38656633.post-37821243321311265122011-05-17T18:53:07.514-05:002011-05-17T18:53:07.514-05:00I'm very skeptical of this idea. How can you ...I'm very skeptical of this idea. How can you psychoanalyze a dead person. Capote's been gong 15 years or so right? You'd have to do so much speculating, I wonder how solid conclusions could be made. <br /><br />But it is an interesting questions. I remember all the speculation at the time of his death, wondering if he had finished pages of the manuscript hidden away somewhere.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06906212382849291562noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38656633.post-70327405015839591412011-05-17T18:05:08.873-05:002011-05-17T18:05:08.873-05:00Kathleen, if Capote fascinates you, you will defin...Kathleen, if Capote fascinates you, you will definitely enjoy this book. The only part I did not enjoy at all was the chapter on Breakfast at Tiffany's...too much detail and it became meaningless to me with the repetition. That's why I gave the book a "4" instead of a "5," in fact.Sam https://www.blogger.com/profile/17448913705757509608noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38656633.post-38434905839159152452011-05-17T18:03:42.612-05:002011-05-17T18:03:42.612-05:00Cody, go to the Design section and click on the &q...Cody, go to the Design section and click on the "settings" tab. From there, click on "Formatting." In that section you will see (first choice, I think) a section called "Show at Most." You can decide right there how many of your older posts you want to have on display at any one time. I think mine is set at 50.Sam https://www.blogger.com/profile/17448913705757509608noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38656633.post-36330175961761817392011-05-17T17:51:47.169-05:002011-05-17T17:51:47.169-05:00I have always thought Capote is a fascinating char...I have always thought Capote is a fascinating character.
