Truman Capote had a feud with his Swans, sure. But do you know about the just-as-famous feud with fellow writer and raconteur Gore Vidal? Their epic battle got nasty, and it turns out Truman learned a whole lot about family matters from his bestie Swan, Lee Radziwell. Lee also happens to be a stepsibling of Gore through marriage, which makes the story even nastier. Today, we are backing the story all the way up to the mothers of Gore and Lee, Nina Gore Vidal and Janet Lee Bouvier. Spiderwebs abound!
