Talented Miss Highsmith

The Secret Life and Serious Art of Patricia Highsmith
TaschenbuchKartoniert, Paperback
704 Seiten
Englisch
Macmillan USerschienen am04.01.2011
Patricia Highsmith, one of the greatest writers of 20th Century American fiction, had a life as darkly compelling as that of her favourite "hero-criminal," the talented Tom Ripley. Joan Schenkar maps out this richly bizarre life from her 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 an 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.mehr

Inhalt/Kritik

Kritik
"This is a biography of clarity and style. A model of its kind.... Schenkar's writing is witty, sharp and light-handed." - The New York Times Book Review "Both dazzling and definitive... A volume as original as its contemptible, miserable, irresistible subject." - Los Angeles Times"mehr
