The Price of Salt: Or Carol
The groundbreaking LGBTQ classic The Price of Salt: Or Carol by Patricia Highsmith is a raw, intoxicating exploration of desire, identity, and courage, now available in a splendid hardcover addition to the Dover Bookshelf. Highsmith, writing under the pseudonym Claire Morgan, crafted a narrative that defied the pervasive stereotypes and tragic endings typical of lesbian literature of the era. Her portrayal of a same-sex romance was a daring move, challenging societal norms of the 1950s when such topics were cloaked in stigma and often relegated to subtext or moral condemnation. The relationship between Therese Belivet and Carol Aird is depicted with sincere complexity, making their love story universally relatable. The novel provides a rare, affirming representation of LGBTQ individuals, offering a glimmer of hope and validation.
Patricia Highsmith's literary prowess has led to numerous film adaptations of her works, including Carol, based on The Price of Salt, and the classic thrillers Strangers on a Train and The Talented Mr. Ripley.
