| With an autobiographical Afterword by the author, "The Price of Salt" is now recognized as a masterwork, the scandalous novel that anticipated Nabokov's "Lolita." |

 Written on September 17, 2000 Summary: Little known classic novel... Controversial when released, this book is a classic which I read over and over. Therese and Claire live in my heart and I think of them often. Set in N.Y., I love the descriptions of life in the Big Apple during the 50's. Although the book starts off a bit slow, it's worth the wait as things start to roll along nicely. If you relate to the tug-o-war between the draws of marriage, and knowning it's just not right for you, you'll find Therese to be your new hero as she follows her dreams. Written on August 28, 2000 Summary: Finding one's strength Therese, who works at a department store, meets Carol, soon to be divorced, and the two begin a friendship that slowly becomes more intimate. Carol's soon-to-be-ex-husband discovers the relationship, and moves to take custody of their daughter, challenging Carol to choose between her daughter and her lover. Therese must find her own fortitude to face this threat and ultimately decide where her path lies. Beautifully paced and captivating, this novel deserves a wider audience. I wish it would be made into a movie! Written on February 2, 2000 Summary: The Price of Salt I Think it was a good book I would Recommend it to friends & famil Written on December 18, 1999 Summary: Forty Years Later I discovered this book, and my own sexuality, in the late "50's." Through the years it has been the one title and story that I have always remembered. Now, I've a new copy and reading it again has brought back all the memories of the first time I read it. A beautiful story with a beautiful ending... I only wish Highsmith had writen a sequel with Carol and Therese. Written on November 3, 1999 Summary: A Happy Ending... For a Change. I was introduced to Therese and Carol, the two protaganists in Highsmith's lesbian romance The Price of Salt, my Sophomore year of college in a Gay and Lesbian Lit. Class. The professor told the class she had picked the book becuase it was well written and it presented an interesting twist to a gay love story, no one dies or goes straight at the end(imagine that). This alone is not neccesarily compelling enough to get someone to read Salt, after all, today's gay and lesbian love stories often end in positive and fulfilled ways. But for Highsmith's Salt, written in the 1950s, this was a stretch. The reader will enjoy the subtleness of the prose and the indepth look at the confusion and chaos that can occur when two women come together and realize their mutual attraction and then love for each other. In addition, the novel is a dynamic look at 1950s America as the characters adventure out of New York and off into the Great American Wide Open. I encourage gay and straight readers to venture forth with Therese and Carol. Salt allows a beautiful look into the world of finding one's soul mate and falling in love. Becuase, above all, Highsmith has written a love story, not just a lesbian work of fiction. |
