Review
Praise for Patricia Highsmith
[Highsmith's] characters are irrational, and they leap to life in their very lack of reason. . . . Highsmith is the poet of apprehension rather than fear.” Graham Greene
For some obscure reason, one of our greatest modernist writers, Patricia Highsmith, has been thought of in her own land as a writer of thrillers. She is both. She is certainly one of the most interesting writers of this dismal century.” Gore Vidal
Miss Highsmith's genius is in presenting fantasy's paradox: successes are not what they seem. . . . Where in the traditional fairy tale the heroine turns the toad into a prince, in Miss Highsmith's fables the prince becomes a toad success is nearly always fatal. . . . Combining the best features of the suspense genre with the best of existential fiction a reflection the stories are fabulous, in all the senses of that word.” Paul Theroux
She writes so fearlessly . . . about human relationships and the human heart. I always have this terrible sense of foreboding . . . you never feel safe.” Cate Blanchett
Patricia Highsmith's novels are peerlessly disturbing bad dreams that keep us restless and thrashing for the rest of the night.” Terrence Rafferty, New Yorker
These days, just about all the exciting work in the murder-for-entertainment business descends not from Arthur Conan Doyle or Hammett but from Highsmith.” Atlantic
Highsmith, who can change reality to nightmare with one well-turned phrase, is a legendary crime writer.” Cleveland Plain Dealer
