Fzcción y Realidad en <strong>la</strong> abra <strong>de</strong> Traman Capote<br />

“We crossed tite bridge and wan<strong>de</strong>red througit<br />

opened iron gates into <strong>de</strong>serted courtyard of a blue pa<strong>la</strong>ce.<br />

It was tite beginning of a <strong>la</strong>byrinth, an artic Casbah witere<br />

one courtyard led into another via arca<strong>de</strong>s and tunnels and<br />

across narrow streets snow-hushed and silent except for<br />

sleigit horses stamping titeir hooves, a drifting sound of<br />

belís, an occasional giggle from tite twins, still trailing<br />

beitind us.<br />

a una actuación <strong>de</strong>l Ballet Ruso, <strong>la</strong> cual provoca división <strong>de</strong> opiniones<br />

entre los asistentes: <strong>de</strong>s<strong>de</strong> los que afirman que es todo un éxito para<br />

cumplir hasta los que dicen que han intentado no dormirse. (Capote 1973:<br />
