I read 30 pages a day and I enjoyed Capote's prose style and the way he would describe people without making blunt judgements or insults but nevertheless you were aware of where they stood on the bell or bella curve. This was before In Cold Blood and Breakfast At Tiffany's so he wasn't spoiled by too much fame and acclaim, not to mentiion champagne. He had fewer laurels to rest on, and couldn't just coast.

Truman Capote wrote this in 1956 -- before Breakfast at Tiffany's or In Cold Blood. Truman goes on a trip to Russia with a production of Porgy and Bess. He describes the cast, traveling by train to Leningrad, and the Russians they encounter. Truman's prose style is witty and at this point unspoiled by later success where he rested on his laurels while dining out on the promise of manuscripts to come.
