'Mermaids on the Golf Course' is a disparate collection of stories which really lack the notable elements found in Patricia Highsmith's novels, ... particularly suspense and psychological deconstruction of central characters.

In my opinion the best of the lot is "A Shot From Nowhere" in which a tourist/artist experiences the vacation from hell.

This review is from: Mermaids on the Golf Course: Stories (Paperback)
'Mermaids on the Golf Course' is a disparate collection of stories which really lack the notable elements found in Patricia Highsmith's novels, ... particularly suspense and psychological deconstruction of central characters. These short stories are mostly mild character studies of lonely people. However the key short story, entitled 'Mermaids on the Golf Course', is rather clever and bizarre. Not a classic, but certainly memorable.
Bottom line: a collection of uninspired stories. Not recommended. |
