Publisher Synopsis
"Joan Schenkar is the first writer to grapple with Patricia Highsmith on every level of her being, from her bizarre personal life to her incredibly prolific writing life. It's hard to avoid superlatives when describing Schenkar's biography, but there doesn't seem to be any other way to go about it." - Deirdre Bair, author of Samuel Beckett, winner of the National Book Award."
