Izsolē pārdoti Trumena Kapotes pelni

[Spārka]

The ashes of In Cold Blood and Breakfast at Tiffany’s author Truman Capote have been sold at auction in Los Angeles for $43,750 (£33,800).
Kept in a carved Japanese wooden box, the ashes belonged to the late Joanne Carson, wife of the former Tonight Show host Johnny Carson. According to vendor Julien’s Auctions, Carson, who died last year, said that owning the ashes “brought her great comfort”. She and Capote were good friends, and the celebrated writer died of liver disease at her mansion in Bel-Air in 1984, at the age of 59.

Eh, kā man jaunībā patika tā grāmata..., filma ar nebija slikta ar Odriju Hepkernu,
bet grāmata vienalga vairāk patika.

Izskatās, ka dažiem naudas tik daudz, ka var atļauties extravagantus ieguldījumus.

Tuk, bet ja Tev būtu lieka tā nauda, Tu GRIBĒTU Kapotes pelnu kastīti uz kamīna?

Kapote jau nebija mans draugs, ja būtu bijis, kas zin...

Bet vispār nekad neesmu izpratusi visādu rokstāru šmotku pirkšanu un izsolīšanu,
 ja nu vienīgi mūzikas instrumentu. Bet visādas tur maikas un apenes...

Pircējs ir anonīms:
 The auctioneer had given the ashes a starting price of $2,000, but they ended up selling for the much higher price to an anonymous collector. “We had people from Russia, Germany, China, South America and here in the US who had interest in them,” Julien told CNN.
