Introduced by Robert Robinson
Patricia Highsmith is an American writer of crime stories, best known for her first novel Strangers on a Train written in 1950 and made into a film by Alfred Hitchcock. In an interview filmed at her house in France, she talks about her beginnings as a writer, her fondness for Tom Ripley-the amoral psychopath hero of three of her books - and the kind of criminal temperament that has prompted such novels as Deep Water and The Glass Cell. Plus a selection from Love Letters-a personal anthology by ANTONIA FRASER.
