Abstract: Times 50th Greatest Crime Writers.


Abstract: Times 50th Greatest Crime Writers.

In few day ago TIMES published a list with the 50th major crime writer of ever. In the Firth position is Patricia Highsmith. She is a rule-breaking crime writer. Marcel Berlin’s definition. The Berlin’s reason for the affirmation can be understand in two ways. At firt, in fact, her crime novel is supremely. Her characters are amoral, seducer, and living deeply. Her stores breaking the traditional screenplay of crime novel, generally make for good and tormented cop, fight with yourself and against the crime and the sadist murder still in prison at end. Highsmith novels are quite different. At second, Highsmith is herself rule-breaking.

The creator of Tom Ripley, certainly her most famous character, lived a complex relation with mother, and many homosexual failed relationships. In certain way, Tom Ripley personality expresses same of these factors. Berlin’s critic pointing, the turning point of her novels, the crime emerges suspended of moral judgment, the idea beyond this is: “Any kind of person can murder. Purely circumstances and not a thing to do with temperament. People get so far - and it takes just the least little thing to push them over the brink. Anybody.” Is words of Patricia Highsmith.
