	1	Price Of Salt Patricia Highsmith, W. W. Norton Norton 0393325997 / 9780393325997 Paperback New "I have long had a theory that Nabokov knew "The Price of Salt" and modeled the climactic cross-country car chase in "Lolita" on Therese and Carol's frenzied bid for freedom," writes Terry Castle in "The New Republic" about this novel, arguably Patricia Highsmith's finest, first published in 1952 under the pseudonym Clare Morgan. Soon to be a new film, "The Price of Salt" tells the riveting story of Therese Belivet, a stage designer trapped in a department-store day job, whose salvation arrives one day in the form of Carol Aird, an alluring suburban housewife in the throes of a divorce. They fall in love and set out across the United States, pursued by a private investigator who eventually blackmails Carol into a choice between her daughter and her lover. With this reissue, "The Price of Salt" may finally be recognized as a major twentieth-century American novel. Price: 29.95 AUD

	2	Strangers On A Train Patricia Highsmith Norton 0393321983 / 9780393321982 Paperback New With the acclaim for The Talented Mr. Ripley, more film projects in production, and two biographies forthcoming, expatriate legend Patricia Highsmith would be shocked to see that she has finally arrived in her homeland. Throughout her career, Highsmith brought a keen literary eye and a genius for plumbing the psychopathic mind to more than thirty works of fiction, unparalleled in their placid deviousness and sardonic humor. With deadpan accuracy, she delighted in creating true sociopaths in the guise of the everyday man or woman. Now, one of her finest works is again in print: Strangers on a Train, Highsmith's first novel and the source for Alfred Hitchcock's classic 1953 film. With this novel, Highsmith revels in eliciting the unsettling psychological forces that lurk beneath the surface of everyday contemporary life. Price: 27.95 AUD
