The dirty salons of the bourgeoisie
The Filthy Parlors of the Bourgeoisie (originally titled Answered Prayers), Truman Capote's final and unfinished spine-tingling novel, traces the frenzied journey of the hapless voyeuristic author P.B. Jones (the author's own dark alter ego), from literary salons and dinner parties celebrities in 1950s and 1960s New York and Paris to seedy hostels and the wilderness of Tangier's infamous bars. Amoral adventurers, besotted cronies, desperate artists and unscrupulous beauties tirelessly swirl around daring confessions and forbidden pleasures, composing a "mural of monsters" paraded in all their nakedness before the depraved but unerring gaze of one of the last greats. writing stylists.
"Prose that makes the heart sing and the narrative to fly" –The New York Times Book Review
