Patricia Highsmith: The Animal-Lover's Book of Beastly Murder |
From the Publisher: Stories from The Animal-Lover's Book of Beastly Murder portray, with incisive humor, the murderously competitive desires of our most trusted companions. In this satirical reprise of Kafka, cats, dogs, and the occasional cockroach are no longer benign elements of a happy home but actually have the power to destroy it. "[Highsmith] is no more a practitioner of the murder mystery genre than are Dostoevsky, Faulkner and Camus." - Joan Smith, Los Angeles Times Patricia Highsmith: The Animal-Lover's Book of Beastly Murder. Stories. W.W. Norton, ISBN: 0393323668 (October, 2002), 256 p., $13.95.
