Thanks Clint, Scott Kennedy, Kevin Maye, and Cole Porter. "Good authors too who once knew better words now only use four letter words writing prose." could have been written by Hemingway's mom. He kept a letter from her about that close to his heart. Capote may have been trying, in Answered Prayers, to imitate Hem's success in alienating his friends with The Sun Also Rises.
