Description

Today thought to be a masterwork, the scandalous novel that expected Nabokov's Lolita."I've long had a theory that Nabokov understood The Buying Price Of Sodium and made the climactic cross country car chase in Lolita on Therese and Carol's crazy bid for independence," writes Terry Fort in The Brand New Republic about any of it novel, perhaps Patricia Highsmith's best, first published in 1952 underneath the pseudonym Clare Morgan. Soon-To be considered a new movie, The Buying Price Of Salt tells the captivating tale of Therese Belivet, a level developer caught in a department store day work, whose answer comes one day in the shape of Denise Aird, an appealing suburban housewife in the throes of a divorce. They fall in love and put down over the Usa, attacked with a private eye who fundamentally blackmails Denise right into a decision between her partner and her child. With this specific reissue, The Buying Price Of Sodium might ultimately be thought to be a significant twentieth century American novel.
