PrintableI think Patricia Highsmith is seriously underrated.
She is my favorite author and she is usually seen only as a writer of thrillers. She is far more than that, imho. | |

I love Bowles. I read a lot of him this past summer. The Spider's House is a terrific novel! Absolutely fabulous! Why don't more people read his work? He has a love for the written word and you can tell that he takes care to choose just the right words for each sentence... perfection. I liked the movie of The Sheltering Sky too, although apparently Bowles himself didn't! In the Preface to a recent edition of the book, he says: "The less said about the movie the better." 
Only he spelled "less" correctly.
