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
