A proposito di questo titolo

Now part of American film and literary lore, Tom Ripley, "a bisexual psychopath and art forger who murders without remorse when his comforts are threatened" (New York Times Book Review), was Patricia Highsmith's favorite creation.

In The Boy Who Followed Ripley, Highsmith explores Ripley's bizarrely paternal relationship with a troubled young runaway, whose abduction draws them into Berlin's seamy underworld. More than any other American literary character, Ripley provides "a lens to peer into the sinister machinations of human behavior." (John Freeman, Pittsburgh Gazette).

Recensioni della critica

"Ripley is an unmistakable descendant of Gatsby, that 'penniless young man without a past' who will stop at nothing." (Frank Rich)
Tutte le stelle
Più rilevanti
First weak entry in the series. It isn’t even all bad, but too long and meandering, and the titular “boy” isn’t half as interesting as the author probably intended him to be, and the whole novel suffers from it. Still, a lot of good parts and intruguing, even hilarious encounters and action. Worth a read.
The narrator could have been bothered to look up how to pronounce Charle de Gaulle (not “sharldegollé”).
