description: With the appearance of Nothing That Meets the Eye, Highsmith establishes herself as a permanent member of the American literary canon.THE PATRICIA HIGHSMITH RENAISSANCE, which began after her death in 1995, continues with Nothing That Meets the Eye, a brilliant collection of 28 psychologically penetrating short stories, a great majority of which have never been seen before. Separated into two parts, Early Stories (1938-1949) and Middle and Later Stories (1952-1982), this volume of previously uncollected work spans almost fifty years of Highsmith's career and allows us to see how the author evolved from a struggling freelance writer in New York City in the early 1940s to an American expatriate in Switzerland.
