Truman Capote′s legendary masked ball, at New York City′s Plaza Hotel on November 28, 1966, was a hyped–up media event meticulously masterminded by the self–promoting, social–climbing author of In Cold Blood. Davis (Strapless: John Singer Sargent and the Fall of Madame X) dishes up the menu, the decor, the outfits and the guest list of 540, clueing the reader in to how Capote dangled the prized invitations for months, snubbing early supporters like Carson McCullers as he determined who was "in" and who was "out." In choosing his guest of honor, Capote eschewed glamorous "swans" like Babe Paley and Marella Agnelli in favor of "dowdy" Washington Post publisher Katharine Graham. Actress Candice Bergen was bored at the ball; Capote′s elevator man danced the night away with a woman who didn′t know his pedigree; and Norman Mailer sounded off about Vietnam. This frothy effort retreads ground already covered by Gerald Clarke, George Plimpton and Sally Bedell Smith, among others. Black–and–white photos have frozen the beautiful people of the ′60s in all their preening glory, and readers also get to see the invitation and the fashion sketches of the elaborate masks and headdresses created by Halston and Adolfo.

"Deborah Davis captures a crystal moment in time with all the elegance and irony it deserves. A black and white truffle of a book delicious."
Jane Stanton Hitchcock, author of One Dangerous Lady and Social Crimes
"In this extraordinary book, Deborah Davis tells the story of how international society and the 1960s converged at the Plaza Hotel at the party of the century. It was a moment in time and Davis captures the excitement in delicious detail. I loved this book."
Ina Garten, author of the Barefoot Contessa cookbooks
"Davis shines a kaleidoscopically colorful light on the Black and White Ball, a cultural happening that defined the time. Immersing oneself in these pages is the next best thing to being there."
Jill Kargman, coauthor of The Right Address and Wolves in Chic Clothing
"One of the best reads of the season will be Deborah Davis′s Party of the Century, an encyclopedic look at the famous Black and White Ball."
Billy Norwich, Vogue
