Items related to Small g – A Summer Idyll
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.

Review:
All those qualities that have made Highsmith such an important figure--her carefully crafted prose, her understanding of human frailties and the randomness of life--are present in this final work.--Aaron Stander
Synopsis:
Six months after his gay partner is brutally murdered, Rickie mourns at a local bar alongside his dancing dog, a possessive seamstress, and her beautiful apprentice, and when the seamstress conspires to thwart the others' infatuation with a newcomer, Rickie and the apprentice retaliate with humorous results.
