| Format: Paperback, 256pp. ISBN: 0393323668 Publisher: Norton, W. W. & Company, Inc. Pub. Date: September 2002 Edition Desc: Following the national bestseller Selected Stories, this fall brings the republication of a gripping Highsmith classic. Stories from The Animal-Lover's Book of Beastly Murder portray, with incisive humor, the murderously competitive desires of our most trusted companions. In this satirical reprise of Kafka, cats, dogs, and the occasional cockroach are no longer benign elements of a happy home but actually have the power to destroy it. Author Biography: Patricia Highsmith is the author of Strangers on a Train and The Talented Mr. Ripley. She died in 1995 in Locarno, Switzerland. |
