To celebrate the book’s success, Capote threw what many called the“Party of the Century,” the famous “Black and White Ball.” This maskedball, at New York’s elegant Plaza Hotel, was to be the pinnacle of bothhis literary endeavors and his popularity. Overwhelmed by thelifestyles of the rich and famous, Capote began to work on a projectexploring the intimate details of his friends. He received a largeadvance for a book which was to be called Answered Prayers(after Saint Theresa of Avila’s saying that answered prayers cause moretears than those that remain unanswered). The book was to be a bitingand largely factual account of the glittering world in which he moved.The publication of the first few chapters in Esquire magazinein 1975 caused a major scandal. Columnist Liz Smith explained, “Hewrote what he knew, which is what people always tell writers to do, buthe just didn’t wait till they were dead to do it.”With these first short publications Capote found that many of hisclose friends and acquaintances shut him off completely. Though heclaimed to be working on Answered Prayers (which manyimagined would be his greatest work), the shock of the initial negativereactions sent him into a spiral of drug and alcohol use, during whichtime he wrote very little of any quality. When Capote died in 1984, atthe age of fifty-nine, he left behind no evidence of any continuedprogress on Answered Prayers. Though many feel that Capotedid not live up to the promise of his early work, it is clear from whathe did write that he was an artist of exquisite talent and vision. Withboth his fiction and his non-fiction, he created a body of work thatwill continue to move readers and inspire writers for years.详细死因:liver disease complicated by phlebitis and multiple drug intoxication

He was interred in the Westwood Village Memorial Park Cemetery in Los Angeles, leaving behind his longtime companion, author Jack Dunphy. Dunphy died in 1992, and in 1994 both his and Capote's ashes were scattered at Crooked Pond, between Bridgehampton, New York and Sag Harbor, New York on Long Island,close to where the two had maintained a property with individual housesfor many years. Capote also maintained the property in Palm Springs, a condominium in Switzerland that was mostly occupied by Dunphy seasonally, and a primary residence at the United NationsPlaza in New York City. Capote's will provided that after Dunphy'sdeath a literary trust would be established, sustained by revenues fromCapote's works, to fund various literary prizes and grants includingthe Truman Capote Award for Literary Criticism in Memory of Newton Arvin, commemorating not only Capote but also his friend Newton Arvin, the Smith College professor and critic, who lost his job after his homosexuality was exposed.[25]After his death, fellow writer Gore Vidal described Capote's demise as "a good career move".参访录是记录言行的资料的意思么?如果是的话,答案如下:记录言行资料:With Love from Truman (1966纪录片),Gerald Clarke, in Capote: A Biography (1988) With Love from Truman (1966),a 29-minute documentary by David and Albert Maysles and Charlotte Zwerin, shows a Newsweek reporter interviewing Capote at his beachfront home in Long Island.
