I'll go with Highsmith too, because I want more people to read it. As I got accused of calling people "bad" in another thread for saying something was heteronormative, I always like the chance to discuss actual LGBT literature.
PS - the movie adaptation, while making some unnecessary changes, was absolutely gorgeous. |

Voting is complete and the winner is The Price of Salt! I'll have the discussion thread up soon.
I also noticed this month (sorry, I like these sorts of stats minutiae!) that every nomination was from a different decade, and very evenly spaced throughout the last century at that. Also, somewhat of a rarity, almost all the nominated authors were women. I know I nominated many of these but I didn’t notice either of those things until I was looking at the full list after voting had started. |

I hadn’t noticed the publication dates! I have never read anything by Patricia Highsmith before so I’m looking forward to it.
