'The Talented Mr. Ripley' by Patricia Highsmith

Details

We'll be discussing 'The Talented Mr. Ripley' by American author Patricia Highsmith, published in 1955.

As described by the publisher: In a chilling literary hall of mirrors, Patricia Highsmith introduces Tom Ripley. Like a hero in a latter-day Henry James novel, Ripley is sent to Italy with a commission to coax a prodigal young American back to his wealthy father. But Ripley finds himself very fond of Dickie Greenleaf. He wants to be like him–exactly like him. Suave, agreeable, and utterly amoral, Ripley stops at nothing to accomplish his goal. Turning the mystery form inside out, Highsmith shows the terrifying abilities afforded to a man unhindered by the concept of evil.

We'll be meeting up in person in Den Bosch. The location will we announced to the attendees at least two days in advance. In any case, it will be a location not far from the train station.

There's a limited amount of attendants as to keep the conversation manageable. If you're on the waiting list and want to know whether you'll be able to make it in the end, please contact the host directly.
