The Tremor of Forgery

Sobre el libro The Tremor of Forgery de Patricia Higsmith publicado por Grove:

"The Tremor of Forgery" is considered by many to be Patricia Highsmith´s finest novel. Set in Tunisia in the mid-1960s, it is the story of Howard Ingham, an American writer who has gone abroad to gather material for a movie too sordid to be set in America. Ingham is cool towards Ina, the girlfriend he left behind in New York, but his feelings start to change when she doesn´t answer his increasingly aggravated letters, and John Castlewood, the filmmaker who hired Ingham, fails to show in Tunisia. Amid the tea shops and alleys of the souk, the sun-blasted architecture, and the beaches and hotels frequented by international tourists, will Ingham´s morality survive the withering heat? Includes an introduction by Francine Prose.
