![]() ![]() The hype and success of the film “Capote” got me thinking about the book. Great story.Īnother I heard for the first time and had not read since late high school was Truman Capote‘s “In Cold Blood”. But what if they were real, and could not be disproved but rather proved true? Even Stoker’s writing style of telling the story through the journals, letters and recordings of various characters was a statement about the forward thinking of the day and it’s reaction to facing the supernatural of the old world made real. In the ordinary run of things, modern technology would lay waste to old myths and legends, disproving them. It’s really a study of what happens when modern technology (what was then modern technology: wired messages, locomotive travel, advanced medicine, newspapers and fast communication of news to the public) collides with old world myth or belief. Bram Stoker’s “Dracula” was one… what an interesting book that is. Recently I listened to a few books I had read as a kid or in college. A while back someone in a comment asked what audiobooks I was listening to lately. This is because I cannot devote the kind of attention necessary to follow every word and action in the book… I have to be able to zone in and out just a little or it would be a distraction rather than a way to stay focused and on task.
