<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>Completed just months before Patricia Highsmith's death in 1995, "Small g" explores the labyrinthine intricacies of passion, sexuality, and jealousy in a kinky, charming tale of love misdirected, written in a style and form few knew were part of Highsmith's range.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>In unmistakable Highsmithian fashion, <em>Small g</em>, Patricia Highsmith's final novel, opens near a seedy Zurich bar with the brutal murder of Petey Ritter. Unraveling the vagaries of love, sexuality, jealousy, and death, Highsmith weaves a mystery both hilarious and astonishing, a classic fairy tale executed with a characteristic penchant for darkness. Published in paperback for the first time in America, <em>Small g</em> is at once an exorcism of Highsmith's literary demons and a revelatory capstone to a wholly remarkable career. It is a delightfully incantatory work that, in the tradition of Shakespeare's <em>A Midsummer Night's Dream</em>, shows us how bizarre and unpredictable love can be.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>All those qualities that have made Highsmith such an important figure--her carefully crafted prose, her understanding of human frailties and the randomness of life--are present in this final work.--Aaron Stander "I Love a Mystery"<br><br>Its superabundance of characters is only one of the elements that give <em>Small g</em> its air of Shakespearean complexity.--David Leavitt "New York Times Book Review"<br><br>The best thing about <em>Small g</em> is the affectionate homage it pays to relationships that are not exclusive or possessive, that may or may not be sexual, but which have the power to create happiness or break a stranglehold that is choking off a full, delicious life.-- "Lambda Book Report"<br>
