Little Tales of Misogyny: A Virago Modern Classic
Patricia Highsmith
Formats & Editions
LITTLE TALES OF MISOGYNY is Highsmith's legendary, cultish short-story collection. With an eerie simplicity of style, Highsmith turns our next-door neighbours into sadistic psychopaths, lying in wait among white picket fences and manicured lawns. In these darkly satirical, often hilarious, sketches you'll meet seemingly familiar women with the power to destroy both themselves and the men around them.
