The Other Capote

The Lawrence Journal-World has a profile of Andre Parks and his new graphic novel, Capote In Kansas.

Parks makes some comparisons with his work and the recent film starring Philip Seymour Hoffman:

“They cover almost exactly the same time period,” says Parks, a Baldwin resident and former Kansas University student.“But (the graphic novel) represents the victims much more than the film does. My story was of a triangle between Truman, his loyalty to a killer he may have fallen in love with and the victims as well. I represented those victims with — I hate to call her a ghost; let’s call her a spirit — of (victim) Nancy Clutter.”
