Truman Capote was born on September 30th, 1924. TrumanÃÂs literary works are recognized internationally as classics, but the roots to this comprehensive writer seem fit to a less successful writer.
Truman was constantly faced with the emotion of abandonment, even as an infant. From the very start, TrumanÃÂs parents were in a custody battle over Truman, but neither wanted the responsibility of caring for him. TrumanÃÂs mother, Lillie Mae, who was only 17, ended up winning the custody battle of the infant. Lillie was constantly out finding jobs and having affairs, and Truman could remember constantly being locked in a hotel room while Lillie was out with various boyfriends.
