Truman Capote: Answered Prayers, Chapter 20, "Our Time." Being the last will and testament of P.B. Jones. My moment was brief in that time. My body was lithe enough to attract men and women as much as ... As often as they or I needed. And friends, too, came easily. Because when you are in your time, you attract people to your light. You can laugh easily and recover instantly from booze and slights and bruises. I had that with my friends. Now I have only one or two left. Friends. Old together. As I lay here on a hammock in Tangier, alone as far as the eye can see, time zones distant from anyone who knows me, what I remember is mostly the sun and how it felt on skin. That is what friendship, the love of friends, feels like. Luck. Salt when you lick someone's sun-dappled arm. Light. And that is what I miss, because in this desert heat, I do not feel it now.
