«Música para camaleones» is a collection of short stories and non-fiction by Truman Capote, published by RBA in hardback (263 pages).
The volume alternates stories, chronicles and interviews, showing Capote's versatility and his interest in literary journalism. Loneliness, alienation, fame and obsession appear in texts of elegant, precise prose, where detail and observation of human behaviour are central.
This Spanish-language edition from 1993 translates the original 'Music for Chameleons' (1980); the translation is by Benito Gómez Ibáñez and corresponds to number 68 of the Narrativa Actual collection.
Recommended for readers of short stories and 20th-century American literature.
