«Música para camaleones» is a book of stories and documentary pieces by Truman Capote, published by Editorial Anagrama in paperback (288 pages, in Spanish).
Capote presents these pieces as documentary literature, seeking a simple, direct prose. The volume has three parts: short stories, the novella «Ataúdes tallados a mano», and conversations and portraits, including a housemaid, an imprisoned killer, Marilyn Monroe, and an unsparing self-portrait.
No. 106 in Anagrama's Compactos collection. Original title: Music for Chameleons. Translation by Benito Gómez Ibáñez.
A volume for readers of short narrative with a testimonial bent and for those who want to discover Capote as a chronicler.
