"Exploring Truman Capote's Feud with the Original Influencers"

TL;DR Summary
Truman Capote's rise to literary fame with "In Cold Blood" and the lavish Black and White Ball at the Plaza Hotel is dramatized in the miniseries "Feud: Capote vs. the Swans." His subsequent fall from grace, marked by the publication of "La Côte Basque, 1965," led to a bitter split with his high-society confidantes, the "swans." The fallout from the gossip-rich work, "Answered Prayers," resulted in social banishment and strained relationships, ultimately contributing to Capote's decline and untimely death.
