Patricia Highsmith 
Small g: A Summer Idyll [EPUB ebook] 

‘Like Ripley, [Highsmith’s characters] burn in a reader’s memory.’—Susan Salters Reynolds, Los Angeles Times Book Review

In unmistakable Highsmithian fashion,
Small g, Patricia Highsmith’s final novel, opens near a seedy Zurich bar with the brutal murder of Petey Ritter. 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,
Small g 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
A Midsummer Night’s Dream, shows us how bizarre and unpredictable love can be.
