<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>Highsmith's writing is wicked . . . it puts a spell on you, after which you feel altered, even tainted.--<em>Entertainment Weekly</em><p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p> <em>Slowly, Slowly in the Wind</em> brilliantly assembles many of Patricia Highsmith's most nuanced and psychologically suspenseful works. Rarely has an author articulated so well the hypocrisies of the Catholic Church while conveying the delusions of a writer's life and undermining the fantasy of suburban bliss. Each of these twelve pieces, like all great short fiction, is a crystal-clear snapshot of lives both static and full of chaos. In The Pond Highsmith explores the unforeseen calamities that can unalterably shatter a single woman's life, while The Network finds sinister loneliness and joy in the mundane yet engrossing friendships of a small community of urban dwellers. In this enduring and disturbing collection, Highsmith evokes the gravity and horror of her characters' surroundings with evenhanded prose and a detailed imagination.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>For eliciting the menace that lurks in familiar surroundings, there's no one like Patricia Highsmith.-- "Time"<br><br>Highsmith is crime fiction's most lethal existentialist.--Ed Siegel "Boston Globe"<br><br>Highsmith neatly dismantles the American suburban idyll, subverting the clichés of domestic bliss--nice neighbors, a child's comforting glass of milk, and the dream of growing radishes--with macabre cruelty.--Andrew Wilson, author of Beautiful Shadow: A Life of Patricia Highsmith<br>
