What would be the main theme in In Cold Blood, the novel by Truman Capote?
It is considered the originator of the non-fiction novel and the forerunner of the New Journalism movement. The story weaves a complicated psychological story of two parolees who together commit a mass murder, an act they were not capable of individually. Capote’s book also details the lives of the victims and the effect the crime had on where they lived. A large part of the story involves the dynamic psychological relationship of the two felons that culminated in this senseless crime. In Cold Blood is often regarded as a pioneering work of true crime. http://en.wikipedia.
