Why True Crime!?? Because it's an extremely popular genre on TV, streaming, podcasts ,ebooks, DT books, etc . There's a large, loyal and dedicated consumer base, always waiting for the *next* TRUE story. Fact really IS better than fiction!

Thomas King is a treasure, shout out to the Niitsitapi of Alberta.

Per Toronto99 Mark Bourrie is a child predator

Very interesting, thank you!

I've enjoyed Mr Wells' work and wonder how to gain access to his blog and newsletter. Thnx

Why does he keep talking over her? So refreshing listening to Alice who doesn't feel the need to pigeonhole everything and everyone. An exciting person and poet.

classic gay bitchiness. Perfectly said.

Insightful. Thsnks 👍

Near the 47 minute mark, you lost me when you got into politics. The Trump-as-Hitler argument is as intellectually lazy as you can get. Have you been paying attention to all the anti-Semitism on college campuses? It's Germany 90 years ago all over again. But, somehow, you'll rationalize it as Trump's fault. Your ilk usually does.

My dear intelligent and extremely insightful late father used to say that the pigs get to drink the best water. How true.

Would have been nice to see video…..staring at one photo is quite distracting

He was a perverted predator.

"SPIRITUAL WARFARE"....thats profound The universe ALWAYS makes you pay. Not immediate; nor is it at the hand of the persons whom you wronged necessarily But we ALL end up paying. And usually, its perportionate to what you put in. Thus for people like CAPOTE who spent their live dealing in this negative currency--ALMOST ALWAYS end up paying dearly

Thank you, Nigel and Meghan, for this intelligent discussion. How disappointing that it has attracted so few listeners. How interesting it would have been, if we had been able to have a look at some of the items Meghan has referred to. I have got a rare collection, about 2000 volumes in the UK, and your discussion touches on so many of my problems. I want to secure my collection's survival after my death and just can't find so far anywhere where it can go. As a start I have compiled a home-made catalogue and find it very useful just to have it on my PC. I refer to it often. So far it's just an alphabetical list by author and an alphabetical list by title. Another issue, while I am still alive, is classification of a collection where all the books are on the same topic. Dewey is irrelevant to such a collection. There must be many specialist libraries where the books are all about the same subject, eg surgery, mathematics, horticulture, photography, etc. How do librarians classify such collections? Thanks again. I will be coming back to this, I am sure.

It was a defense mechanism

Back then that bitchyness was a shield .. gays felt they had to be that way to protect themselves from others they felt they had to be just as cruel as the homophobes who were cruel to them .. the problem with that is that you become what you dispise

Many many queens of that Era were much like him .. especially new Yorkers.. It was almost a prerequisite ..I almost fell into that until someone told me no one likes a bitchy queen

Any gay male who stands up against the psychotic heterosexual supremacist is marked. Straight people with a sense of entitlement derived from a fictitious scripture and deity think that they have to right to tear down the talented homosexual.

Mister Gilmour, this is fascinating! Thank you for this insight.

My grandfather adored Truman Capote. He was a Genius who was continually harassed and smeared behind his back. From what I hear. In the 1950s and 60s being Gay wasn’t Vogue and many Men hid it. Capote capitalized on his gayness and what people would say weirdness. God Bless Truman Capote 🙏🏻💔🙏🏻

"this story was gayer than I thought it was,"...no offense to anyone, but that was a funny line in this conversation.

Capote was right though on the title "Answered Prayers", showing the pain behind the shiny facade of his rich socialite friends. He should have been less lazy and blur the real persons behind his book characters.

Narrator is wrong regarding the Catholic Confession. In fact no clue whatsoever. It is a Sacrament not some kind of cheap psychological therapy.

I like learning from this guy

I find capote creepy. Even his voice gives me chills. I was going to buy his biography but I didn’t 😮

Isn't the truth just that Capote had friends that were, in fact assholes? And so they gave him material to write about. And he was lazy. And he fell in love with a self important image of high society and then the artist in him was speaking deep down saying "you know these people are frauds right?".

😄 39 views in 6 years. 😄 🤣 😂 😆 Nobody cares what low IQ shitlib pozztard clowns 🤡 🤡 🤡 are kvetching about.

What a load of nonsense mr gilmore is pontificating, Trueman capote is far from the greatest writer in the 20th century, being a narsacist he would have to bite the hand that fed him, he can't stand next to Tony morrison or Patrick White,and many more, Gilmorton should study pigs he will find they are very intelligent and sentive creatures, that humans treat horrifically!!!. Or course men can be bisexual, they make out very well in prisons, its very possible to be in love with very different people at the same time especially if one is awful, the sex is properly fantastic, aline that with masochistic feeling, bingo! That's a perfect storm for madness. Very silly to say femails can be Bi, but makes can't 😅😅😅😅😅😅😅

That's because he took the escalator. The elevator was filled with sick prewoke Democrat/Communists.

No no no -- men are no less "bi" than w0men. While it's true that most men who publicly identify as "bi" are almost always gay, most genuinely bisexual men always identify as "straight." In fact, of all the guys I've ever known who were the most enthusiastic, sincerely, promiscuously skirt-chasing straight womanizers, almost ALL of them had a bi-curious side to them which, on occasion, they acted on.... So what we've all been told about sexual orientation is a lie.

Truman claimed to have an IQ of just over 180. I don't know if that is true but he did have a very high IQ. People like that really are different from most of us, they are always having to deal with people much "slower" than they are. Truman had a very traumatic childhood as well. He was also an extremely tiny man. He was also gay. With those things to deal with, he did the best he could, I think. One of his gifts was the ability to ingratiate himself to almost anybody. I can see how he grew to resent what he had to have seen as becoming a mascot for wealthy female socialites rather than a friend or equal. He WAS a man after all, no matter how gay he was. Seeing himself as becomeing the lapdog of the wives of the most powerful men in society would be soul crushing for him. I can see how he grew to hate them. I don't say he was right, if he saw it that way. Add drug addiction and alcoholism with all the transient sex parters and no wife or children to ground him.....sad.

😮😮😮 Wow! Apparent negative bias towards Truman. In Susskind's interview with Capote, he listed people he loved (when asked).

Intelligent discussion very insightful hope it helps me with my writing and self awareness

Great interview-thanks for uploading!

Not the David Gilmour from Pink Floyd

Interesting how similar some of Truman’s personality traits appear to be as that of the radio personality Jeff Lewis.

Feminine males, believe it or not. Don't even like women. They view women as the competition. After all, both are after the same prize.

A shallow pan of a male trying to impress women. And he's one who couldn't hold a woman with a ball and chain.

Im still waiting for the solo

Glad to see him in court facing charges.

I have long been a fan of Capote, probably first exposed to him in my (late 1980s) LIT 101. Over the years, I've found myself prone to a recurring preoccupation with learning more about him. I go on an annual TC binge, listening to old interviews, rereading his short stories I am listening to this and enjoying it SO MUCH. Thank you.

y'all are describing a narcissist

You have perfectly described Narcissistic Personality Disorder,. He proves the theory.."They are both born and created by their life."

Very introspective.

I didnt think too much of Tru.He was too acid tongued.

I had no idea David Gilmore was into Truman Capote. Hmm

You have the most interesting guests and I appreciate how you ask questions until you understand what he is saying. It gives us such great insight into the business.

I found this dialogue interesting for a bit and then, frankly, a bit dull. All great art, it seems to me, is an alchenical process of making the ordinary extraordinary. For some artists it happened just once and for others it never stopped pouring out of them. Some artists are remembered, most are forgotten. It's a cruel irony that for some, having the sensibiltity that allows them to see things differently can be more of a hindrance than a help in navigating real life. Result: deep flaws. In the end it's the art they produced that matters.

Wonderful talk by Jerry Kelly!
