The photo on the cover of “The Talented Miss Highsmith” depicts the young, sultry author of “Strangers on a Train” holding one of her pet cats. There’s no question which is the more spookily feline-looking creature.
Pretty as it is, this picture is hardly representative. As a pet owner Highsmith was much more remarkable for keeping hundreds of snails and for liking to watch those mollusks mate.
