Nothing That Meets the Eye: The Uncollected Stories of Patricia HighsmithThis volume spans almost fifty years of Highsmith's career and establishes her as a permanent member of our American literary canon, as attested by recent publication of two of these stories in The New Yorker and Harper's. The stories assembled in Nothing That Meets the Eye, written between 1938 and 1982, are vintage Highsmith: a gigolo like psychopath preys on unfulfilled career women; a lonely spinster's fragile hold on reality is tethered to the


This volume spans almost fifty years of Highsmith's career and establishes her as a permanent member of our American literary canon, as attested by recent publication of two of these stories in The New Yorker and Harper's. The stories assembled in Nothing That Meets the Eye, written between 1938 and 1982, are vintage Highsmith: a gigolo-like psychopath preys on unfulfilled career women; a lonely spinster's fragile hold on reality is tethered to the bottle; an estranged postal worker invents homicidal fantasies about his coworkers. While some stories anticipate the diabolical narratives of the Ripley novels, others possess a Capra-like sweetness that forces us to see the author in a new light. From this new collection, a remarkable portrait of the American psyche at mid-century emerges, unforgettably distilled by the inimitable eye of Patricia Highsmith. A New York Times Notable Book and a Washington Post Rave of 2002.

A LOT of watch for the money
Color: Grey
I purchased this piece with low expectations but was pleasantly surprised by the quality and overall esthetics. If you are a young man looking for your first watch that doesn’t break the bank, this is the one.

Not giving accurate time.
Color: Grey
Watch looks so fancy and standard but regretted to say that the pins on the bands are coming out easily, and does not giving accurate time. doesn’t worth it. Wish i can return it if possible.

Stunning watch!! Purchased for my boyfriend for his birthday. He is a bigger guy with a larger arm/wrist so the size of this watch looks great on him. He receives a ton of compliments on it, and it still catches my eye every time he wears it. Decent weight without being too heavy (he reports). Perfect to wear as a daily watch or dress up with
