Patricia Highsmith
The trouble with Mrs Blynn – the trouble with the world

Published by Diogenes as Die Augen der Mrs. Blynn
English Title: The Trouble with Mrs Blynn, the Trouble with the World

»The Trouble with Mrs Blynn, the Trouble with the World« consists of hitherto unpublished stories from the 1950s, 60s and 70s, most of them psychological narratives, with a few crime and animal stories. Some of the stories are like walls made of rice paper behind which lurk the shadows of great human downfalls. In others, heroes watch their own aberrations in amazement until fate suddenly takes a turn for the better and evokes a shimmer of paradise and happiness.
