Obviously I was talking about the character, not the actual Truman Capote whose geniality I'm not even dreaming of questioning and I'm sorry if I gave this impression. I was talking of the eccentric looks, the effeminate aspects, à la Cage aux folles, if you prefer. So totally different from the "two gay cowboys" whose masculinity nobody could ever question, which, in my opinion is, for some people, way more "dangerous" and "frightful" just because is so far from the rather harmless gay stereotype everyone is more or less familiar with.


I don't want realism. I want magic! Yes, yes, magic. I try to give that to people. I do misrepresent things. I don't tell the truth. I tell what ought to be truth (Blanche/A streetcar named desire)
