À propos de ce titre

The remarkable renaissance of Patricia Highsmith continues with the publication of Patricia Highsmith: Selected Novels and Short Stories, featuring the groundbreaking novels Strangers on a Train and The Price of Salt 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. Strangers on a Train, transformed into a legendary film by Alfred Hitchcock, displays Highsmith’s genius for psychological characterization and tortuous suspense, while The Price of Salt, with its lesbian lovers and a creepy PI, provides a thrilling and highly controversial depiction of “the love that dare not speak its name”. This book firmly establishes Highsmith’s centrality to American culture by presenting key works that went on to influence half a century of literature and film. Abandoned by the wider reading public in her lifetime, Highsmith finally gets the canonical recognition that is her due.

Avis de la critique

“Patricia Highsmith’s novels are peerlessly disturbing…bad dreams that keep us thrashing for the rest of the night.” ( New Yorker)

I agree with the voice of another reader/listener: What is so difficult about marking the chapters with the titles? what good is it just to number the parts, and the reader who would like to skip parts, jump ahead or back, is left to guess which book or story is where. This is true for other titles as well, by the way.

Having only chapter numbers as guide to the content if this vast set if material is in adequate. This makes it difficult for those of us who would like to skip around and listen to the stories before and of the books.

Note that the experience isn't a wholesome one. I will return this download.
