Authors

Book Description

BY THE BESTSELLING AUTHOR OF THE TALENTED MR RIPLEY, CAROL AND STRANGERS ON A TRAIN

'Very wicked, very funny . . . very unsettling' GUARDIAN

'Each story is more appalling than the next, deadpan in tone and dripping with black humour' INDEPENDENT

'These little tales are tremendous fun, glorious hand grenades lobbed at the reader by a gleeful, cackling Patricia Highsmith' DAN RHODES

Little Tales of Misogyny is Highsmith's legendary, cultish short-story collection. With an eerie simplicity of style, Highsmith turns our next-door neighbours into sadistic psychopaths, lying in wait among white picket fences and manicured lawns. In these darkly satirical, often hilarious, sketches you'll meet seemingly familiar women with the power to destroy both themselves and the men around them.

All these funny and provocative stories are marked by Patricia Highsmith's individual view of people and society and her gift for turning the bizarre extremes of human behaviour into sophisticated entertainment.
