Capote had a troubled childhood caused by his parents' divorce, a long absence from his mother, and multiple moves. He was planning to become a writer by the time he was eight years old, and he honed his writing ability throughout his childhood. He began his professional career writing short stories. The critical success of "Miriam" (1945) attracted the attention of Random House publisher Bennett Cerf and resulted in a contract to write the novel ''Other Voices, Other Rooms'' (1948). He achieved widespread acclaim with ''Breakfast at Tiffany's'' (1958)—a novella about a fictional New York café society girl named Holly Golightly, and the true crime novel ''In Cold Blood'' (1966)—a journalistic work about the murder of a Kansas farm family in their home. Capote spent six years writing the latter, aided by his lifelong friend Harper Lee, who wrote ''To Kill a Mockingbird'' (1960). Provided by Wikipedia
