The acclaimed new film Capote , which chronicles gay writer Truman Capote's creation of the "nonfiction novel" In Cold Blood , is sending moviegoers in droves to buy that very book. USA Today reports that Vintage is in its third printing of the tie-in edition of In Cold Blood . "Right now, sales of Capote's books are running 28% ahead of last year," Lynne Widli of Barnes & Noble tells USA Today . "In Cold Blood was our top-selling literature title last week, outselling perennial favorites The Great Gatsby, 1984, Of Mice and Men , and Lord of the Flies ." The film itself is based on Capote: A Biography , by Gerald Clarke, which has also seen an upsurge in sales in recent weeks. (Advocate.com)
