Capote's life had a great deal of influence on the novella. Capote was a teenager when he began writing books, and the narrator also was a write in his teens. "But I always knew that I wanted to be a writer and that I wanted to be rich and famous."(Krebs) The narrator wanted to be a success early in life and Capote expressed hiself in the same since.  "I had to be successful, and I had to be successful early,"(Krebs). Capote turned into an alcholic because of his drinking at a young age. The narrator was also a heavy drinker. Holly and the narrator would go to the bar and drink many times. Capote was also a homosexual and the novella would hint around that the narrator could possibly be a homosexual hiself. In the novella when the narrator was looking through Holly's book collection, he realized that she only owned books about horses and baseball. The narrator was not at all interested in either subjuct. Holly mentioned how she is in love with horses. She explained to the narrator how she did not like baseball at all but she reads those books for research purposes. Holly informs the narrator that if a man does not like either subject then she is in trouble any way because he does not like girls. Narrator's life was almost a mirrored image of Capote's.
