In a small Pennsylvania town, Robert Forrester is recuperating from a nasty divorce and a bout of psychological trouble. One evening, while driving home, he sees a pretty, young woman framed by her bright kitchen window. Soon, he can't keep himself away. But when Robert is inevitably discovered, obsession is turned on its head, and he finds himself unable to shake the young woman, nor entirely sure whether he should. From Patricia Highsmith, once called "the balladeer of stalking" by The New Yorker, The Cry of the Owl is a modern classic ready to be reborn. Praise for The Cry of the Owl "Kafka with a vengeance." -The Spectator (London) "Highsmith generates suspense out of a different sort of fear: not the fear of death, which drives most crime-centered entertainment, but the pettier, more intimate dread of humiliation, of being caught on the street with nothing on. . . . There's something else here, hard to identify, pulling us along relentlessly, as thrillers do-an undertow, a surge of third-rail current." -The New Yorker "The Cry of the Owl is a deceptively easy stroll toward personal chaos and destruction. It is thoroughly chilling because nothing seems farfetched. Odd, yes, but believable. . . . The Cry of the Owl is creepy and unsettling, a taut psychological thriller." -Linnea Lannon, Detroit Free Press "One of her lesser-known works . . . and one of her most unsettling. Which is saying plenty. . . . The crime writer Elmore Leonard has written a host of novels with the same basic plot: Plans go wrong. The story message driving all of Highsmith's work is similarly simple and clear: We live on thin ice. Highsmith revolts some readers, yet hypnotizes many others. She's sui generis, a writer of almost occult power." -Richard Rayner, Los Angeles Times [url] => https://www.hoopladigital.com/title/15755347 [pa] => [publisher] => Grove Atlantic [purchaseModel] => INSTANT )
