“In taking on Capote’s masterwork, Justin St. Germain has written nothing less than an essential reckoning with the entire American enterprise of nonfiction. His book changed forever how I see not onlyIn Cold Blood, but also true crime and the limits of literary journalism. I learned so much. This should be required reading for both writers and readers of crime.”–Alex Marzano-Lesnevich, author,The Fact Of A Body: A Murder And A Memoir
“Compelling literary analysis featuring a unique personal perspective on the material.”–Kirkus
