Hardcover. Condition: As New. Dust Jacket Condition: None, As Issued. Limited Edition. 1st Printing. Signed. 235 pages. Published in 1988. Retrospective collection of short stories. One of Patricia Highsmith's finest achievements. Limited Slipcased Edition of 100 numbered and signed copies. Precedes and should not be confused with the regular trade edition. Published as a hardcover original only. The Limited Edition is now rare. An austerely elegant production by Otto Penzler Books: Regular-sized volume format. Green hard boards with gilt titles embossed on the spine, as issued. Text by Patricia Highsmith. Matching green slipcase. Printed on pristine-white, archival stock paper in the United States to the highest standards. Without DJ, as issued. Presents, in its Limited Edition format, Patricia Highsmith's "Mermaids On The Golf Course". The author at her most succinct best: Eleven chillingly accurate, anti-feminist yet psychologically resonant in her "variations-on-a-theme" take on subtle and not-so-subtle misogyny, as only the bisexual writer can see through and sustain it. Highsmith understands all too well that among the very worst misogynists are women themselves. There are many crime-and-mystery thriller writers who can give even the most jaded reader a really good scare. Highsmith cuts more deeply, leaving an open wound, because she makes us see the void called the human soul, that is to say, not what's good about us, but what's innately evil. This is what makes her a truly ground-breaking Modernist, not just another great genre writer. Her greatest creation, Tom Ripley, is unique in American literature: The unsurpassed embodiment of amorous amorality of our time. Patricia Highsmith is best-known as the author of "The Talented Mr. Ripley", which was the basis of a fine film by Anthony Minghella, with Matt Damon, Gwyneth Paltrow, and Jude Law. She wrote five "Ripley" novels in all and the third one, "Ripley's Game", became the basis of yet another fine film, by the great Italian director Liliana Cavani, with John Malkovich as the older (and more assured) Tom Ripley. Alfred Hitchcock was among the first to see her unique genius and adapted her debut novel, "Strangers On A Train", into one of his greatest films. An absolute "must-have" title for Patricia Highsmith collectors. This is a copy of the Limited Slipcased Edition, indicated/numbered as such on the Front Limitation Page. It is very prominently, neatly, and beautifully numbered and signed in black ink-pen by Patricia Highsmith. This title is a great collection. This is one of very few copies of the Limited Edition still available online and is in especially fine condition: Clean, crisp, and bright. It is, quite simply, the single most beautiful copy we have ever seen. Please note: Highsmith signed very few copies of her books, almost all of them to people she knew or was close to. Her Limited Editions are most collectors' best chance of securing a still reasonably-priced signed book by her. A very rare signed copy thus. Regarded by Gore Vidal as "one of our great modernist writers". One of the greatest writers of the 20th century. A fine collectible copy.
