The Price of Salt: Or Carol
No Customer Reviews
Now available in a splendid, affordable hardcover edition with easy-to-read type of the unabridged original text, this groundbreaking LGBTQ classic by Patricia Highsmith is a raw, intoxicating exploration of desire, identity, and courage. Highsmith, writing under the pseudonym Claire Morgan, crafted a narrative that defied the pervasive stereotypes and tragic endings typical of lesbian literature of the era. Her portrayal of a same-sex romance was a daring move, challenging societal norms of the 1950s when such topics were cloaked in stigma and often relegated to subtext or moral condemnation. The relationship between Therese Belivet and Carol Aird is depicted with sincere complexity, making their love story universally relatable. The novel provides a rare, affirming representation of LGBTQ individuals, offering a glimmer of hope and validation. Patricia Highsmith's literary prowess has led to numerous film adaptations of her works, including Carol, based on The Price of Salt, and the classic thrillers Strangers on a Train and The Talented Mr. Ripley. This beautifully bound edition is proudly printed in the USA and makes the perfect collectible treasure for booklovers and gifting.
