Book: The Complete Ripley Novels: The Talented Mr. Ripley/ Ripley Under Ground/ Ripley's Game/ The Boy Who Followed Ripley/ Ripley Under Water No lover of American literature should be without this stunning boxed set of all five Ripley novels.
"The Complete Ripley Novels"--a first-time, boxed collection of the entire Ripley series--is a cause for critical and popular celebration. Its publication reflects the fact that Patricia Highsmith, "no more a practitioner of the murder mystery genre...than are Dostoevsky, Faulkner and Camus" (Joan Smith, "Los Angeles Times"), has finally entered the American literary canon. Marginalized throughout her career as a mere thriller writer, Highsmith has experienced a remarkable renaissance since her death in 1995. Now Highsmith fans and new readers alike can find these five novels--"The Talented Mr. Ripley, Ripley Under Ground, Ripley's Game, The Boy Who Followed Ripley," and "Ripley Under Water"--all housed under one roof in this brilliantly designed, highly collectible edition.
" Highsmith] forces us to re-evaluate the lines between reason and madness, normal and abnormal, while goading us into sharing her treacherous hero's point of view."--Michiko Kakutani, "New York Times"
