Description
Patricia Highsmith, one of the great writers of 20th Century American fiction, had a life as darkly compelling as that of her favorite \"hero-criminal,\" talented Tom Ripley. In this revolutionary biography, Joan Schenkar paints a riveting portrait, from Highsmith\'s birth in Texas to Hitchcock\'s filming of her first novel, \"Strangers On a Train, \" to her long, strange, self-exile in Europe. We see her as a secret writer for the comics, a brilliant creator of disturbing fictions, and erotic predator with dozens of women (and a few good men) on her love list. \"The Talented Miss Highsmith\" is the first literary biography with access to Highsmith\'s whole story: her closest friends, her oeuvre, her archives. It\'s a compulsive page-turner unlike any other, a book worthy of Highsmith herself.
