A Critical Study of the Fiction of Patricia Highsmith--from the Psychological to the PoliticalEdwin Mellen Press, 2004 - Всего страниц: 300 This is the first book-length study of all of Highsmith's work, including the short fiction and her occasional writings, such as book reviews. It places the work in both cultural and personal context, and contains a comprehensive bibliography and review of the literature. Though often dismissed in the US as simply a suspense writer whose books became movies (Strangers on a Train, The Talented Mr. Ripley), in Europe Highsmith is considered a major novelist and much is written about her. |
