We expect people to say nice things about us when we die. That doesn't always happen.
Truman Capote and Gore Vidal, both famous writers, both deeply flawed men, feuded for years. Each spat vitriol at the other with venomous delight.
The last years of Capote's life were sad: he openly abused alcohol and drugs. Eventually, at 59, his body gave out and he died.
Vidal wasn't kind. In words widely quoted, Vidal called Capote's death "a wise career choice."
Ouch.
