RHODES Little Tales of Misogyny is Highsmith's legendary cultish short-story collection. With
an eerie simplicity of style Highsmith turns our next-door neighbours into sadistic
psychopaths lying in wait among white picket fences and manicured lawns. In these darkly
satirical often hilarious sketches you'll meet seemingly familiar women with the power to
destroy both themselves and the men around them.All these funny and provocative stories are
marked by Patricia Highsmith's individual view of people and society and her gift for turning
the bizarre extremes of human behaviour into sophisticated entertainment. 'The No.1 Greatest
Crime Writer' THE TIMES
