Unspoiled Monsters




UNSPOILED MONSTERS 


“The problem is:
how can a writer 
successfully combine
within a single form—
say the short story—
all he knows about
every other form
of writing?”
—Truman Capote,
Music for Chameleons
______________

I like the way Capote does it
illuminating all the noir genres

Noir film scripts, noir plays
noir reportage, noir poetry 
______________

Noir novellas, noir novels
a lot like Raymond Chandler

Reclaiming Novel as film noir
making books into movies
_______________

Capote had already done
what Richard Brooks created

IN COLD BLOOD already there
book movie Midwestern noir
______________

Way ahead of Seymour Hoffman
and Bennett Miller doing CAPOTE

Using all his genius and abilities
mingled together on same palette 
______________

One simultaneous application
a gamble of genres and techniques

An Unspoiled Monster down deep
inside the middle of Planet Earth
___________

Deeper than diamonds, ruby, gold
film noir born all over again, baby
