Author: John Hammer & Karen McBurnieThe author of 22 novels and countless short stories, Patricia Highsmith is a legend of thriller and crime fiction. More than a quarter of a century since her death, Highsmith’s unsettling fiction and outspoken misanthropy are still a source of uneasiness and controversy. This map details 54 locations associated with the author and her work, from long-gone lesbian boîtes in Manhattan and her last home in the Swiss mountains, to scenes from The Talented Mr Ripley and Strangers On A Train.Highsmith spent much of her life on the move, jettisoning homes, friends and lovers as she made her way from Texas to Manhattan, onto England, France, and finally Switzerland. Each location is carefully described and plotted on a map – an obsessive task of which we think many of Highsmith’s characters would approve.ISBN 9781838216795.
