Patricia Highsmith: This Sweet Sickness

From the Publisher:
Following the national bestseller Selected Stories, this fall brings the republication of a gripping Highsmith classic.

In This Sweet Sickness, David Kelsey has an unyielding conviction that life will turn out all right for him; he just has to fix The Situation: he is in love with a married woman. Obsessed with Annabelle and the life he has imagined for them, David prepares to win her over, whatever it takes.

"[Highsmith] is no more a practitioner of the murder mystery genre than are Dostoevsky, Faulkner and Camus." - Joan Smith, Los Angeles Times
