Capote’s style: In Cold Blood Takes credit for creating what he calls the “non-fiction novel”: depicts real events narrated with techniques of fiction. The non-fiction novel is an otherwise loosely-defined and flexible genre. Hints of this type of novel exist before Capote, but the non-fiction narrative, as it is now referred to, is considered to have been born with the publication of In Cold Blood.
