That was an interesting look at a literary milestone. Slight correction: As the speaker mentioned, the book was published in 1966, not 1967 as in the description.
Senseless violence always captures the imagination. And as a representative of American culture, this is a great distortion of our history which this novel purports to document to some extent.. there’s a blurring between history and art. My class of Japanese learners understandably have some confusion over what is artistic exaggeration and what is an honest examination of our culture.
I don't mean to be unkind, but I was surprised to read the speaker is a professor at Georgetown. He mispronounced "indemnity" several times, attributed the character of Mike Hammer to Dashiell Hammett, and throughout, summarized rather than analyzed.
Yes. It's unusual for a department to intervene in a case like this, and that's a shame. He should start by watching more organized and engaged lecturers- a great lecture on a subject as intrinsically interesting as In Cold Blood could be truly exciting to watch, and inspiring to young students.

I remember cutting my true crime teeth on the true crine detective conics in the 50's.
True Detective, is this mixing of actual detective work and the fiction known which makes fiction and which is reality?
I studied the book why do you call it a novel non fiction a true account of such human action of suffering .

Ugh, the genre name you are clumsily searching for is creative nonfiction.
