David Gilmour on Truman Capote's slow descent into Hell

Last year at about this time David Gilmour and I sat down together to talk about " Mojave " one of Truman Capote's greatest short stories. We enjoyed ourselves so much we decided to do it again, this time with " Shut a Final Door ." Capote wrote this story when he was only 23 years old. David contends that it strongly foreshadows how Truman's actual life would unfold - as a slow, messy descent into hell. Perfect fare for the holiday season. Merry Christmas everyone.
