Product Details

Praise

“The brilliance of Highsmith’s conception of Tom Ripley was her ability to keep the heroic and demonic American dreamer in balance in the same protagonist―thus keeping us on his side well after his behavior becomes far more sociopathic than that of a con man like Gatsby.” ―New York Times Magazine

“Patricia Highsmith is often called a mystery or crime writer, which is a bit like calling Picasso a draftsman.” —Cleveland Plain Dealer

“One of our greatest modernist writers.” —Gore Vidal

“Highsmith’s dark and sometimes savage humor, and the intelligence that informs her precise and hard-edged prose, puts one in mind of Jonathan Swift and Evelyn Waugh.” —Newsday

“[Highsmith] has created a world of her own-a world claustrophobic and irrational which we enter each time with a sense of personal danger.” —Graham Greene

“Highsmith’s novels are peerlessly disturbing . . . bad dreams that keep us thrashing for the rest of the night.” —The New Yorker

“For eliciting the menace that lurks in familiar surroundings, there’s no one like Patricia Highsmith.” —Time
