Out There

The village of Holcomb stands on the high wheat plains of western Kansas. A place other Kansans call "out there." Truman Capote, In Cold Blood. The greatness of the book and the fine Philip Seymour Hoffman film. I had to go out there, the film Capote the first look at what it was like to have him ,of all people, out there. Too bad that he didn't write his own observations of himself , or Harper Lee, who accompanied him...Notorious, the other Capote out there wasn't much up against Capote. Sandra Bullock as Harper Lee? As for me, headlights shining down the long drive between the Chinese elms hat led to the Clutter home, Dick & Perry right there at my back...
