NOIR: Strangers on a Train (Patricia Highsmith)

A rich man-child with a huge zit takes a special interest in a promising young architect he meets on the train. He shares his dream of the perfect murder: I kill your wife and you kill my daddy. But does he mean it, or is just the scotch talking? And where did the architect leave his copy of Plato's Republic?


We read Patricia Highsmith's classic debut novel, Strangers on a Train.


Thanks to Perfect Books in Ottawa for supporting this show.
