It is well known that the character of Dill in To Kill a Mockingbird is based on Truman Capote, Harper Lee’s childhood friend. Similarly, Harper Lee inspired Idabel, Capote’s pivotal character in his breakthrough novel, Other Voices, Other Rooms. Their friendship continued into adulthood, as Lee worked closely with Capote on research and writing for Capote’s In Cold Blood.

Staten Island OutLOUD hosts an afternoon of readings & conversation on Harper Lee, and Truman Capote. Our special guest is Staten Island writer/publisher Danforth Prince, co-author of Pink Triangle, which examines Capote’s life and work.
