Though I have been a reader of crime fiction all of my adult life, I avoided the work of Patricia Highsmith (1921-95) until my early 30s.Bleak worldviews weren't the issue; perhaps it was the unconscious feeling that spending too much time in Highsmith's brain might alter mine irrevocably.What finally opened the trapdoor was Joan Schenkar's nonlinear, idiosyncratic biography, The Talented Miss Highsmith (2009).
