An intriguing copy of Highsmith's pseudonymous lesbian novel, written shortly after the success of Strangers On A Train. Light wear to the extremities and lightly rubbed along the spine panel, else a near fine bright copy. A sizable part of the manuscript was first published as Carol In A Thousand Cities in the paperback anthology of that title edited by her friend Marijane Meaker (as Ann Aldrich), with whom Highsmith then shared a house in Bucks County, Pennsylvania. Somewhat cryptically inscribed by the author on the dedication page, beneath the printed dedication, which reads "To Edna, Jordy, and Jeff" beneath which she writes: "Who don't exist + never did / Claire Morgan / 27 June 1989." This book has been reissued in paperback format using her preferred title, Carol. First paperback edition of Highsmith's first and only lesbian novel.
