Capote In Kansas writer misses boat, has decent article written about him anyway.
Ande Parks could see it on the big screen:
Actor Philip Seymour Hoffman plays Truman Capote.
�We could pitch this to him,� he recalls telling his publisher as he put the final touches on his graphic novel Capote in Kansas.
The book gives a fictionalized account of Capote�s time in Kansas researching the Clutter family murders for his groundbreaking book In Cold Blood. Ande introduced several unreal elements, including the ghost of 16-year-old murder victim Nancy Clutter, who becomes a confidante for Capote. The book deals with the writer�s ambivalence over his involvement in the crime�s aftermath.
Unfortunately, someone else had a similar idea. Ande�s book was published in July 2005, just in time to bump up against the movie "Capote" starring Hoffman. This month the movie garnered Hoffman an Oscar.
