Description
Link to a review of a biography of Patricia Highsmith: https://lareviewofbooks.org/article/highsmith-was-a-troll-on-richard-bradfords-devils-lusts-and-strange-desires/As it turns out, Patricia Highsmith was another one of those common birds, a midcentury writer of the antisemite variety, whose advanced-level bigotries really don’t come come up in the same breath as the praises heaped upon her, and they should. She was shitty. But THE TALENTED MR RIPLEY is a fantastic novel, colored by Highsmith's own hatreds, and her ultimate goals.Follow our guest Danny Bowes on Twitter @ByBowesSUMMARYTom Ripley is hounded by a rich Richard Greenleaf Sr. to go to Italy and retrieve his son, Dickie Greenleaf, and bring him back to America for his mother's impending death. Once Tom finds Dickie, he murders the heir and takes on his identity, while avoiding capture in post-WWII Italy. Our GDPR privacy policy was updated on August 8, 2022.
