In the evocative pages of 'Flung Out of Space', readers are transported into the tempestuous life of Patricia Highsmith through a graphic narrative that celebrates and critiques the author. We walk alongside Pat, a protagonist marked by self-loathing, as she weaves through the jungles of conversion therapy, turbulent affairs, and her journey as a lesbian writer in the repressive 1950s. Struggling to transcend the trappings of low-brow comic writing, her mind brims with the novel that would mold her legacy. This graphic novel reimagines the inspiration behind 'The Price of Salt', offering a poignant exploration of the creation of a queer literary cornerstone and providing a stark commentary on the life of an iconoclast whose art was as compelling and conflicted as her personal beliefs.
