{"product_id":"small-g-a-summer-idyll-9780393327038","title":"Small G: A Summer Idyll","description":"In unmistakable Highsmithian fashion, \u003cem\u003eSmall g\u003c\/em\u003e, 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, \u003cem\u003eSmall g\u003c\/em\u003e 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 \u003cem\u003eA Midsummer Night's Dream\u003c\/em\u003e, shows us how bizarre and unpredictable love can be.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Patricia Highsmith\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e W.
