A collection of the thriller writer's short stories. I have to admit that based on my extensive Highsmith reading - namely, the first Ripley novel - I prefer her in long form. That said, the short stories aren't bad, they just don't give the same sense of satisfaction as reading an entire novel.
The earlier stories are better, I think - more about alienation and less about what it would be like to be an anthropomorphic pigeon (that was easily the worst story in the book).
