Unraveling the vagaries of love, sexuality, jealousy, and death, Highsmith weaves a mystery both hilarious and astonishing, a classic fairy tale executed with a characteristic penchant for darkness. Published in paperback for the first time in America, \u003cem\u003eSmall g\u003c\/em\u003e is at once an exorcism of Highsmith's literary demons and a revelatory capstone to a wholly remarkable career. It is a delightfully incantatory work that, in the tradition of Shakespeare's \u003cem\u003eA Midsummer Night's Dream\u003c\/em\u003e, shows us how bizarre and unpredictable love can be.","brand":"Norton, W.
