內容簡介

《冷血》（英文：In Cold Blood）是美國作傢楚門·卡波特於1966齣版的小說，詳述1959年一起位於堪薩斯州霍爾庫姆，優渥農人赫伯特·剋拉特一傢遭滅門的殘暴凶殺案。卡波特獲悉此事後，與好友作傢哈波·李決定一同前往當地進行調查。他們訪問瞭當地居民與該案的調查人員，摘記瞭上韆頁的紀錄。凶手狄剋與貝利在犯案後不久被逮捕，卡波特隨後耗盡六年心血著成此書。《冷血》被公認是非虛構小說鼻祖及新新聞主義先驅，同時也成瞭卡波特的經典代錶作之一。

Controversial and compelling, In Cold Blood reconstructs the murder in 1959 of a Kansas farmer, his wife and both their children. Truman Capote's comprehensive study of the killings and subsequent investigation explores the circumstances surrounding this terrible crime and the effect it had on those involved. At the centre of his study are the amoral young killers Perry Smith and Dick Hickcock, who, vividly drawn by Capote, are shown to be reprehensible yet entirely and frighteningly human.

The book that made Capote's name, In Cold Blood is a seminal work of modern prose, a remarkable synthesis of journalistic skill and powerfully evocative narrative.

作者簡介

杜魯門?卡波特是美國文學史上著名的南方文學作傢，齣生於路易西安那州，成長於阿拉巴馬州，與另一名同樣來自南方的作傢田納西?威廉姆斯（Tennessee Williams）齊名。卡波特九歲搬至紐約市，從小在文學方麵就嶄露頭角。他記憶力極佳，年紀很小就能寫齣超齡的文章。不但常在校刊發錶作品，也攬獲瞭不少作文比賽的首奬。十七歲從高中輟學，隨後進入《紐約客》（New Yorker）打工，最終也成瞭《紐約客》的專欄作傢。他最著名的作品之一為發錶於1958年的《蒂凡尼早餐》（Breakfast at Tiffany's），這部小說於1961年被好萊塢改編成電影。
然而真正奠定卡波特文壇地位的作品則是發錶於1966年的《冷血殺手》（In Cold Blood）一書。 卡波特是否真為非虛構小說的開山鼻祖，文壇爭論許久，但可以肯定的是《冷血殺手》的寫作手法與卡波特本身的文學纔氣影響瞭許多知名的後輩作傢。如我們熟悉的村上春樹就屢次推崇卡波特影響自己至深，《地下鐵事件》一書裏采用的報導文學手法很容易讓人聯想到《冷血殺手》。 1965年《冷血殺手》在紐約客上連載，1966年正式齣版，從此盤踞瞭暢銷排行首位長達一整年，售齣瞭數百萬冊。隔年改編為同名電影，卡波特名利雙收。
卡波特是一名同性戀者，熱愛參加各式”上流社會”的聚會。他言辭風趣辛辣、妙語如珠，在紐約的名流派對圈是相當活躍的人物。然而他也有著重度酒癮與藥癮，寫齣《冷血殺手》後幾乎再沒有像樣的作品問世。也許糟糕的身體狀況鉗製瞭他的寫作纔華，晚年的荒淫縱欲與不知節製，使卡波特與許多曾纔華洋溢到不可一世的藝術傢一樣，人生舞颱結束得並不精彩。 1984年八月一晚卡波特因用藥過度猝死於一名女性友人傢裏，享年五十九歲。

Truman Capote was born in New Orleans in 1925 and was raised in various parts of the south, his family spending winters in New Orleans and summers in Alabama and New Georgia. By the age of fourteen he had already started writing short stories, some of which were published. He left school when he was fifteen and subsequently worked for the New Yorker which provided his first - and last - regular job. Following his spell with the New Yorker, Capote spent two years on a Louisiana farm where he wrote Other Voices, Other Rooms (1948). He lived, at one time or another, in Greece, Italy, Africa and the West Indies, and travelled in Russia and the Orient. He is the author of many highly praised books, including A Tree of Night and Other Stories (1949), The Grass Harp (1951), Breakfast at Tiffany's (1958), In Cold Blood (1965), which immediately became the centre of a storm of controversy on its publication, Music for Chameleons (1980) and Answered Prayers (1986), all of which are published by Penguin. Truman Capote died in August 1984.

精彩書評

**"There's got to be something wrong with somebody who'd do a thing like that." This is Perry Edward Smith, talking about himself. "Deal me out, baby... I'm a normal." This is Richard Eugene Hickock, talking about himself. They're as sick a pair as Leopold and Loeb and together they killed a mother, a father, a pretty seventeen year old and her brother, none of whom they'd seen before, in cold blood. A couple of days before they had bought a 100 foot rope to garrote them - enough for ten people if necessary. This small pogrom took place in Holcomb, Kansas, a lonesome town on a flat, limitless landscape: a depot, a store, a cafe, two filling stations, 270 inhabitants. The natives refer to it as "out there." It occurred in 1959 and Capote has spent five years, almost all of the time which has since elapsed, in following up this crime which made no sense, had no motive, left few clues - Just a footprint and a remembered conversation. Capote's alternating dossier Shifts from the victims, the Clutter family, to the boy who had loved Nancy Clutter, and her best friend, to the neighbors, and to the recently paroled perpetrators: Perry, with a stunted child's legs and a changeling's face, and Dick, who had one squinting eye but a "smile that works." They had been cellmates at the Kansas State Penitentiary where another prisoner had told them about the Clutters - he'd hired out once on Mr. Clutter's farm and thought that Mr. Clutter was perhaps rich. And this is the lead which finally broke the case after Perry and Dick had drifted down to Mexico, back to the midwest, been seen in Kansas City, and were finally picked up in Las Vegas. The last, even more terrible chapters, deal with their confessions, the law man who wanted to see them hanged, back to back, the trial begun in 1960, the post-ponements of the execution, and finally the walk to "The Corner" and Perry's soft-spoken words - "It would be meaningless to apologize for what I did. Even inappropriate. But I do. I apologize."... It's a magnificent Job - this American tragedy - with the incomparable Capote touches throughout. There may never have been a perfect crime, but if there ever has been a perfect reconstruction of one, surely this must be it. (Kirkus Reviews)

　　對於杜魯門卡波特來說，1959年11月15日發生在堪薩斯州霍肯鎮的這起殘忍的滅門慘案給他帶來的第一感受恐怕同大多數人無所差異。正如我們所體驗的這個世界一樣，人們在感到震驚之餘更多的是激發起一種好奇，這樣的事件會迅速成為茶餘飯後的重要談資，大傢彼此交換著關於凶案的各式細節，臉上跳動著獵奇時獨有的奕奕神采。其年，卡波特的《蒂凡尼的早餐》已經問世，憑藉著小說和奧黛麗赫本主演的同名電影，這位從破碎童年華麗轉身的同性戀作傢在全美享有盛譽。職業的敏感促使他看到瞭一部驚世之作的影子，從此開始長達六年的《冷血》的創作過程。在這期間，他與凶手、探員、受害者的親友等等一係列牽扯到這起案件中的人員進行瞭數量巨大的談話研究，並查閱瞭大量相關的捲宗文書，如果沒有卡波特深入細緻的走訪調查，就不會有這樣一部經典著作的誕生，自然也不會有這部2005年翻拍電影的成功，更不會有50餘年來帶給數以韆萬計讀者的震撼。

　　當最後佩裏略微畸形的身軀在巨大的絞刑架下痙攣兩下後，結束的不隻是他的生命，那個真正的卡波特也在那一刻消失瞭。憑藉《冷血》功成名就，躋身殿堂級作傢之列的卡波特從此失去瞭創作力，終其一生再無巨作問世，他本人也死於酒精並發癥，度過59歲光彩與陰影並存的人生後，與這個滑稽的世界輕輕再見。

評分☆☆☆☆☆

　　原因可以解釋結果，卻不能為結果負責，這就是人生的殘酷吧？

評分☆☆☆☆☆

　　佩裏，凶犯之一，倘若沒有看過原著和電影，對於大多數人來說，這隻是一個類似於周剋華的殘忍凶手。你不會知道這個為瞭50美元槍殺四人的凶手曾有過的人生經曆，不會知道他悲慘沉重的童年，不會知道他詭異破碎的傢庭環境，也不會瞭解到掩蓋在凶手這張名片下的內心世界。正是因為卡波特的介入，我們得以透過小說和電影窺探到他的敏感、脆弱和神經質。在這裏，我無意也沒有資格做道德上的評判，任何因素都不能成為他殘忍奪去一傢四口生命，摧毀一個傢庭的理由，而隻是想通過這一切看看這荒謬的命運。

評分☆☆☆☆☆

　　說一下《冷血》的故事梗概：1959年，在美國的堪薩斯州，農場主剋拉特一傢四口全部被殺，引起瞭全美國的震驚。不久之後案件告破，凶手是兩名白人，隨即二人被判絞刑。卡波特通過走訪大量的人物，其中包括被害傢庭的鄰居，警方的調查人員，被捕後的凶手等等，用記實+小說的手法，把豐富的素材組織起來，還原和演繹瞭一場凶殺案的始末。

評分☆☆☆☆☆

　　這本書之所以使人動容，不是因為卡波特直接對凶殺案進行瞭描寫，而是他對凶手之一——佩裏及其成長經曆的記述。
