<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>The remarkable renaissance of Patricia Highsmith ("Strangers on a Train, The Talented Mr. Ripley") continues with the publication of "The Highsmith Reader," featuring two groundbreaking novels as well as a trove of penetrating short stories.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>The remarkable renaissance of Patricia Highsmith continues with the publication of <em>Patricia Highsmith: Selected Novels and Short Stories</em>, featuring two groundbreaking novels as well as a trove of penetrating short stories. With a critical introduction by Joan Schenkar, situating Highsmith's classic works within her own tumultuous life, this book provides a useful guide to some of her most dazzlingly seductive writing. <em>Strangers on a Train</em> (1950), transformed into a legendary film by Alfred Hitchcock, displays Highsmith's genius for psychological characterization and tortuous suspense, while <em>The Price of Salt</em> (1952), with its lesbian lovers and a creepy PI, provides a thrilling and highly controversial depiction of the love that dare not speak its name. <em>Patricia Highsmith: Selected Novels and Short Stories</em> firmly establishes Highsmith's centrality to American culture by presenting key works that went on to influence a half-century of literature and film. Abandoned by the wider reading public in her lifetime, Highsmith finally gets the canonical recognition that is her due.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>Starred Review. The short stories range in tone from the truly unsettling ("A Mighty Nice Man"; "Oona, the Jolly Cave Woman") to the biting ("The Baby Spoon"; "Not One of Us"). While Highsmith may be best known for <em>The Talented Mr. Ripley</em>, this collection is proof positive that her savagely sedate prose expands far beyond her hero-villain Tom Ripley.-- "Publishers Weekly"<br>
