The Boy Who Followed Ripley by Patricia HighsmithRead about another entry on the list.
I often return to the five perfect Ripley novels, fascinated by the coolness of their construction, their strangely flat sentences, and their obsessive interest in forgeries and fakes. Ripley's queerness flickers in and out of focus and is particularly visible here. Corpses are disgustingly hard to dispose of, but the true horror is the vision of a world absolutely void of meaning or justice. Exquisitely chilling.
