Synopsis "Ese Dulce mal (in Spanish)"

Patricia Highsmith combina tramas insólitas con el estudio psicológico de los personajes. Libres de maniqueísmo y de condicionamientos morales, el clima de sus novelas se halla permeado por la realidad alucinante del crimen en el entorno cotidiano y la facilidad para la perpetración de la violencia en la sociedad contemporánea. Ese dulce mal se centra en la figura de David Kelsey, químico de una empresa textil, admirado y respetado, pero cuya secreta obsesión y la angustia ineludible creada por «la situación» le precipitan irremediablemente a la violencia y a la destrucción final.

She was born in Fort Worth, Texas, in 1921, but moved to New York when she was six years old. By the age of sixteen, she became a writer. She was known for being a solitary person. She moved to Europe in 1963 and spent her last years in a secluded house near Locarno, on the border between Switzerland and Italy. Upon her death, she left three million dollars from her estate to Yaddo, the artists' community in upstate New York. Her first novel Strangers on a Train, was turned into a famous movie by Alfred Hitchcock in 1951. Her last novel Small g: A Summer Idyll was published posthumously just over a month later.
