"Truman Capote's Downfall: The Feud, the Swans, and the Black and White Ball"

Truman Capote's betrayal of New York's elite socialites, known as "the swans," led to his fall from high society after he published a thinly veiled fictionalization of their lives in Esquire magazine. The FX series, Feud: Capote vs the Swans, depicts this story, but some who knew Capote believe it fails to capture his true personality. Capote's close relationships with the swans, his lavish parties, and the fallout from his exposé are detailed, shedding light on his complex connections with the elite.
