An American Tragedy by Theodore Dreiser
Boni & Liveright, 1926 - Two volumes. Found at the thrift store the other day. I was a little excited.
i read this book in high school or maybe before and it was my first experience with really high library fines - i basically kept the book out for months after it was due because it took me so goddamn long to read.

Legendary American novelist Truman Capote hired a local carpenter to custom design his Hamptons house. “He did it to my directions,” explains Capote. “It’s exactly the way I wanted it. I work at this untended look. It’s intentional. You can see how quiet it is here because you can barely see the top of another house. This is a place to be alone.” Above: In a brightly painted and comfortably arranged setting in the living room, the author wrote at this round wicker table. A pack of loose yellow unruled Sphinx paper, some notebooks, a photograph of Capote and his glasses share the space with an open copy of In Cold Blood.
