Read this mere hours after finishing The Price of Salt for the first time; and I have to say that Highsmith also told a simple story in an avant-garde way, because her simple-yet-cutting prose has had me reeling all morning in the best way. And perhaps the lyrical essay in screenshots fits there, too.
Thank you Elizabeth! I agree. I also read TPS (my first Highsmith novel!) for the first time during Christmas break and was so drawn into the story by Highsmith's characterizations. There's apparently a theory that Nabokov modeled Lolita off TPS's cross-country road trip, which, if true, is incredible.

Love your writing!
