The Price of Salt, or Carol Author: Patricia Highsmith

ISBN: 9780393325997 Format: Paperback Number Of Pages: 304 Published: 17 March 2004 Country of Publication: US Dimensions (cm): 21.1 x 14.0 x 2.0 Description: "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.
