The five-course lunches have been done away with, but that evening, I sat down to a lengthy meal similar to what Capote and Dunphy would have enjoyed — starting with a delicious tomato-and-eggplant risotto and ending with a traditional pastiera cake — all cooked and served by Ms. Di Lustro and her middle-aged daughters.

By the sort of unnerving coincidence that brought us two films about Truman Capote in as many years, we have two Chubbuck movies to choose from: Robert Greene's "Kate Plays Christine," in which the actress Kate Lyn Sheil delves into the role of Chubbuck, and—much the more rewarding option—Antonio Campos's "Christine," starring Rebecca Hall.

ANONYMOUS I get that you're pretty wedded to your reading of this story: Your sister-in-law is a wench who hates you for no reason, and you want my blessing to cut her out of your life as sharply as Babe Paley snipped Truman Capote from hers after he published "La Côte Basque 1965," right?

They acquired an expansive contemporary art collection that included works by Jasper Johns, Robert Rauschenberg and Frank Stella; yachted up and down the Amalfi Coast with John and Jacqueline Kennedy and swam in the Adriatic Sea with Mr. Capote; collected cars, yachts and private planes; and cultivated acres of pristine gardens at their several homes on three continents.

Along with the four reels Peter shot at Grey Gardens, Göran acquired film by Andy Warhol showing the glamorous Studio 54 crowd, including Lee and Peter, Truman Capote, Mick and Bianca Jagger, and others on the beach in the Hamptons at the same time Peter was filming there (and an audio interview with Lee Radziwill about that era recorded by Sofia Coppola).

While the author Barbara Seaman attributed the line "she doesn't write, she types" to Gore Vidal in her biography of Ms. Susann, "Lovely Me: The Life of Jacqueline Susann," it is more commonly associated with Truman Capote, who said it on a television talk show in 1959 when dismissing the work of Jack Kerouac, the author of "On the Road."

If Avedon's 230 book, "Observations" (with text by Truman Capote), was, by and large, about the certainty of the self and that self's show-business finish or fake but felt truthfulness, Avedon's work in "Nothing Personal" was about the breakdown of that certainty; indeed, it was about the breakdown of the social structure Americans like Avedon had grown up in along with all those borrowed dogs.

"There will never be another first time that somebody like Andy Warhol could step into a room with somebody like Babe Paley," said Deborah Davis, the author of the 2006 book "Party of the Century: The Fabulous Story of Truman Capote and the Black and White Ball," referring to one of Capote's so-called swans — the socialite wife of William Paley, who built the CBS network.

And when I stepped out onto its terrace, clung precipitously off the hillside, it struck me: While Capote, as a young boy in Alabama, often escaped with his childhood friend, the writer Harper Lee, to a backyard treehouse — the obvious model for the treehouse in "The Grass Harp" — here, too, perhaps, was another inspiration, a soaring sanctuary far removed from the social demands of his Manhattan life.

There was an aesthetic element to the fashionable quarterly that I always appreciated (Plimpton was also famously social; he was friendly with Truman Capote, William Styron and Jacqueline Kennedy) and throughout Plimpton's tenure, The Paris Review collaborated with artists whom Plimpton encountered, such as Sol LeWitt, Andy Warhol, Louise Bourgeois, Alex Katz and Helen Frankenthaler, to create original covers for the quarterly (which were also made into limited-edition posters).

The concurrence of these events, combined with an enticingly brief reference, in a letter Capote wrote to David O. Selznick from Portofino, to a "Swedish mother and daughter who share a fisherman between them," provides Castellani with the germ of his novel, in which not just Williams and Merlo but Burns and his Italian boyfriend, Sandro Nencini, decide at the last minute to go to Capote's party, where they meet one another and also the aforementioned Swedish mother and daughter, Bitte and Anja Blomgren.

" I have been thinking about this since the news of Lee Radziwill's death arrived, along with the flood of photographs from all corners of social media featuring Ms. Radziwill throughout her life — in white corduroys and a blue boat-neck T-shirt, in bouffant chignon and tunics; in a pink shift with her sister, Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis, atop an elephant during a tour of India; in a white-and-silver beaded gown dancing with Truman Capote at his Black and White Ball; in a black patent python jacket — all of them used to pay homage to her extraordinary "taste.
