Flung Out of Space

Flung Out of Space: Inspired by the Indecent Adventures of Patricia Highsmith by Grace Ellis and Hannah Templer

This is a biographical graphic novel of the life of Patricia Highsmith, the lesbian author of the first lesbian novel with a happy ending, The Price of Salt, republished 38 years later in 1990 as Carol under her own name, and later adapted into the 2015 film of the same name. In telling Highsmith's story, the authors illustrate the difficulties faced by lesbians in the 1950s, when being a lesbian was an illness, a sin, and against the law.
