MCBA PRIZE 2020

After Capote - When Truman met Marlon, 2019

Carolyn Thompson has been selected as a semi-finalist for the Minnesota Center for Book Arts Prize 2020 with her work After Capote: When Truman met Marlon. The altered book is from her recent series Post Moderns based on the Penguin Modern box set.

The Duke in His Domain is the transcript of a six-hour interview between Truman Capote and Marlon Brando, in which the writer managed to get the actor to reveal some of his deepest secrets. Given the intriguing relationship between the two, an astrological birthdate relationship analysis report has been undertaken on the pair, sections of which have been retyped and added as notes to the original text where they seem pertinent.

The MCBA Prize exhibition has been taken online this year and can be seen here.
