Actually, I think Truman Capote was the Father of the Nonfiction Novel.

Capote seized on the grisly story and went down to Kansas to turn it into a book. He spent six years researching "In Cold Blood," and claimed to have invented a genre, the nonfiction novel; later, Tom Wolfe and others would include "In Cold Blood" in their own movement, known as New Journalism.

Thank heavens he hasn't written anything of importance, or at least anything anyone wants to read in the past 40 years.

I was so sick of the "darling of late night tv" and his hatred of everything conservative..after all, everything he said was so very important.
