- Authors
WAINWRIGHT, MICHAEL
- Abstract
The article discusses the literary genre of the documentary novel and examines the ways in which the book "In Cold Blood" by Truman Capote, which is generally described as a nonfiction novel, does and does not fit into the genre. Topics discussed include the application of game theory to "In Cold Blood," the alleged dilemmas associated with Capote's recounting in the book of the murder of the Clutter family, and the Prisoner's Dilemma game.
