El protagonista de la novela ingenioso, encantador, bisexual, absolutamente amoral logro escaparse de un orfanato a los trece anos, aprendio el oficio de masajista y se las ingenio para convertirse en un picaro moderno y codearse con los ricos y los famosos, desempenando unas veces el papel de confidente, otras el de bufon y, para los lectores de esta novela, el de divertidisimo cronista de las disparatadas vidas de la jet-set. Este libro es, en buena parte, un roman a clef y, a veces, ni siquiera necesita claves, pues por sus paginas desfilan junto a retratos tenuemente disfrazados de escritores como Tennessee Williams, actrices como Greta Garbo, millonarios como Niarchos, personajes reales, como las inefables Mrs. Mathau y Mrs. Cooper, cuyos dialogos sobre la vida y costumbres (preferentemente sexuales) de otros miembros de la alta sociedad estan reproducidos con cruel fidelidad. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION Although Truman Capote's last, unfinished novel offers a devastating group portrait of the high and low society of his time. Tracing the career of a writer of uncertain parentage and omnivorous erotic tastes, Answered Prayers careens from a louche bar in Tangiers to a banquette at La Cote Basque, from literary salons to high-priced whorehouses. It takes in calculating beauties and sadistic husbands along with such real-life supporting characters as Colette, the Duchess of Windsor, Montgomery Clift, and Tallulah Bankhead. Above all, this malevolently finny book displays Capote at his most relentlessly observant and murderously witty.
