Synopsis
"Highsmith's writing is wicked . . . it puts a spell on you, after which you feel altered, even tainted."―Entertainment Weekly
With Norton's publication of Slowly, Slowly in the Wind, Patricia Highsmith's entire body of work is now back in print. First published in 1979, this volume is one of Highsmith's most nuanced and psychologically suspenseful works. Slowly, Slowly in the Wind gathers stories that explore the hypocrisies of the Catholic Church, the writing life, Poe-like horror fantasies, and more. This collection is a perfect example of Highsmith's view of human nature and a fitting capstone to the reintroduction of one of the twentieth century's greatest writers."synopsis" may belong to another edition of this title.

"Highsmith writes the verbal equivalent of a drug--easy to consume, darkly euphoric, totally addictive."
