The Talented Miss Highsmith: What She Did For Love

The Talented Miss Highsmith: What She Did For Love

Behind The Price of Salt/Carol: an illustrated talk by Joan Schenkar, Patricia Highsmith's acclaimed biographer. 

Patricia Highsmith died for love in life and killed for it in every novel except ‘The Price of Salt’. But murders are in the metaphors in this extraordinary book, and every incident is drawn as directly as a blood donation from Highsmith's love affair with a fascinating Philadelphia socialite. The hidden history of ‘The Price of Salt’/’Carol’, revealed here for the very first time.

Adapting Miss Highsmith is presented by Filmhouse, in partnership with Waterstones, and supported by the BFI, awarding funds from the National Lottery.
