Alan (the Lone Librarian rides again) Teder’s Reviews > Devils, Lusts and Strange Desires: The Life of Patricia Highsmith > Status Update

There are no details on the plot, only possible titles, and all but one of these is crossed out: Ripley's Luck. [from her notebooks, the proposed title of an unwritten #6 Ripley novel.]

She named her drinks not according to their main alcoholic content - practically all were gin - but in terms of the activities and times of the day during which she took sustenance from them: 'Breakfast Drinks', 'Walking Drinks', 'Talking Drinks', 'Cooking Drinks', 'Dressing Drinks', 'Sleepless Night Drinks', 'Planting Drinks', and of course 'Writing Drinks'.

[Unfortunately, the book "The Choice" (1950) by [author:Marc Brandel|140160] which contains a thinly disguised portrait of Patricia Highsmith based on one of her few heterosexual affairs (with Brandel himself) is out of print and is not listed on Goodreads. You can get it from Abebooks for $350 US though.]
