Flung Out of Space:Inspired by the Indecent Adventures of Patricia Highsmith

Flung Out of Space is both a love letter to the essential lesbian novel, The Price of Salt and an examination of its notorious author, Patricia Highsmith. Veteran comics creators Grace Ellis and Hannah Templer have teamed up to tell this story through Highsmith’s eyes-reimagining the events that inspired her to write the story that would become a foundational piece of queer literature. Flung Out of Space opens with Pat begrudgingly writing low-brow comics. A drinker, a smoker and a hater of life, Pat knows she can do better. Her brain churns with images of the great novel she could and should be writing-what will eventually be Strangers on a Train which would later be adapted into a classic film by Alfred Hitchcock in 1951. —- ISBN: 9781419744334
