Patricia Highsmith wrote some great books. Usually I don’t like much stuff by women but something about her style really catches me. She kind of writes fun mid-tier stuff though and doesn’t try to be high-brow, The Talented Mr. Ripley is a real page turner while still having good writing.

I love her, anyone else? Migrated to /lit/ not very long ago so idk who's big here and who's not.

>>12263281
Haven't read her (I've read almost nothing published this century -- books take a while to read and you have to actually buy them unless you find a lucky epub/pdf/mob, and I never know if what I get will be a PoS because idk any of the artists from past work). Are her two books good?
Also, CUTIE!
