Joan Schenkar maps out this richly bizarre life from her birth in Texas to Hitchcock's filming of her first novel, \u003ci\u003eStrangers on a Train, \u003c\/i\u003e to her long, strange self-exile in Europe. We see her as a secret writer for the comics, a brilliant creator of disturbing fictions, and an erotic predator with dozens of women (and a few good men) on her love list. \u003ci\u003eThe Talented Miss Highsmith\u003c\/i\u003e is the first literary biography with access to Highsmith's whole story: her closest friends, her oeuvre, her archives. It's a compulsive page-turner unlike any other, a book worthy of Highsmith herself.\u003c\/body\u003e","brand":"Picador","offers":[{"title":"Talented Miss Highsmith: The Secret Life and Serious Art of Patricia Highsmith | Joan Schenkar | Paperback | 9780312363819 | Used: Very Good | Back Stacks C 1759542","offer_id":49199695724696,"sku":"1759542","price":10.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0492\/1609\/4360\/files\/81zD7obM8yL.jpg?v=1780697542","url":"https:\/\/roundaboutbookstore.com\/products\/talented-miss-highsmith-the-secret-life-and-serious-art-of-patricia-highsmith","provider":"Roundabout Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
