Chronicle Concering Books Carol

Patricia Highsmith's story of romantic obsession may be one of the most important, but still largely unrecognized, novels of the twentieth century. First published in 1952 and touted as "the novel of a love that society forbids," the book soon became a cult classic.

Based on a true story plucked from Highsmith's own life, Carol tells the riveting drama of Therese Belivet, a stage designer trapped in a department-store day job, whose routine is forever shattered by a gorgeous epiphany—the appearance of Carol Aird, a customer who comes in to buy her daughter a Christmas toy. Therese begins to gravitate toward the alluring suburban housewife, who is trapped in a marriage as stultifying as Therese's job. They fall in love and set out across the United States, ensnared by society's confines and the imminent disapproval of others, yet propelled by their infatuation. Carol is a brilliantly written story that may surprise Highsmith fans and will delight those discovering her work.

This authorized edition includes an afterword by Patricia Highsmith. Previously titled The Price of Salt.

Judge Epithetical Books Carol

so, i read a review of Terry Castle's new book "The Professor" in last Sunday's NYT, and, intrigued, googled her to find out more about her. Many years ago, Castle wrote a book about Les Lit. I mean, this woman has read everything in that (often horrible) genre. In an interview, she said The Price of Salt is the best of its kind, hands down. Not only that, but she went on to document how this novel inspired Lolita AND Thelma and Louise! I mean, with those two references, how could I not drive to

I recently saw the movie "Carol" and when I found out it's based on a book, I was surprised I hadn't heard of it -- a lesbian classic that had escaped my attention until now. Onto the TBR list it went. At first I didn't like the writing style but quickly got used to it and didn't want to put the book down. Even knowing pretty much what happens, there are some differences to the movie... and of course the book is always better! (2019 classic book of the month for July)

How was it possible to be afraid and in love, Therese thought. The two things did not go together. How was it possible to be afraid, when the two of them grew stronger together every day? And every night. Every night was different, and every morning. Together they possessed a miracle.Some of you may remember back to my review of The Book of Lost and Found when i boldly declared "barring something truly amazing coming along later this year, I am happy to declare this exceptional read my book of

Your REVIEW.



Salt, as defined by Merriam-Webster: . an ingredient that gives savor, piquancy, or zest.; or, as it relates to this story, the price (sacrifice) these women paid to live their lives truthfully (hence, the book title, Im guessing). I admired Highsmiths nerve and honesty for tackling this lesbian love story in the time period when it was so obviously taboo.Therese Belivet is a young and struggling set designer working in a department store when she meets and instantly becomes enamored with Carol

Slinky 1950's couture, lesbian chic, unfiltered cigarettes and bottomless highballs have reappeared in the American zeitgeist and perhaps that style cycle is responsible for this sleek creature finally clawing its way out of confinement. It saddens me to think this book has been stuffed into a musty box labeled "lesbian romance" and left to molder for over fifty years. It is a dark and forceful account of erotic obsession. It is a terrifying fairy tale told beside a phalanx of glass-eyed
