Patricia Highsmith, one of the great writers of 20th Century American fiction, had a life as darkly compelling\u00a0 as that of her favorite ‘hero-criminal,’\u00a0talented Tom Ripley. In this revolutionary biography, Joan Schenkar paints a riveting portrait, from Highsmith’s birth in Texas to Hitchcock’s\u00a0 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\u00a0worthy of Highsmith herself.<\/div>\n
