«Suspense. Cómo se escribe una novela de intriga» is Patricia Highsmith's writing guide, published by Círculo de Lectores in hardback (191 pages, in Spanish).
Starting from everyday events and the coincidences that inspired her own work, Highsmith describes the process of creating a suspense novel: how ideas arise, how the reader's attention is captured, and how chance, experience and dead ends are part of the craft.
Work originally published in English as «Plotting and Writing Suspense Fiction» (1966); translation by Jordi Beltrán. Belongs to the Biblioteca Patricia Highsmith collection (no. 1).
Aimed at writers and readers curious about the creative process of suspense and Highsmith's narrative technique.
Patricia Highsmith was an American novelist and short story writer widely known for her psychological thrillers, including her series of five novels featuring the character Tom Ripley. She wrote 22 novels and numerous short stories in a career spanning nearly five decades, and her work has led to more than two dozen film adaptations. Her writing was influenced by existentialist literature and questioned notions of identity and popular morality. She was dubbed "the poet of apprehension" by novelist Graham Greene.
