- W4255647910 abstract "A poet of disquiet and obsessive desire, Patricia Highsmith (1921–95) specialized in psychological thrillers staged in an amoral, irrational, Cold War universe. Her best‐known literary creation is Tom Ripley, the cheery, charismatic psychopath and consummate performance artist who debuted in The Talented Mr. Ripley (1955), the first in a series of five Ripley novels (the Ripleiad) that spanned Highsmith's career. Highsmith's literary output was prodigious: 22 novels, seven short story collections, and a meditation on her generic bread‐and‐butter, Plotting and Writing Suspense Fiction (1966). Her first published novel, Strangers on a Train (1950), was quickly adapted in Alfred Hitchcock's famous 1952 film, and Highsmith's cold and fascinating fictional world has spawned a host of cinematic adaptations by prestigious European auteurs like Claude Chabrol, René Clement, and Wim Wenders. Recently, Highsmith has been rediscovered not just as a quintessential noir novelist but also as a shrewd analyst of “perverse” desire and its Cold War production, and an unsparing explorer of the fluidity of modern identity at mid‐century." @default.
