“Ever since she was a young girl, [Patricia Highsmith] had felt an extraordinary empathy for animals, particularly cats. The creatures, she said, 'provide something for writers that humans cannot: companionship that makes no demands or intrusions, that is as restful and ever-changing as a tranquil sea that barely moves'. Her affection for cats was 'a constant as was feline companionship wherever her domestic situation permitted,' says Kingsley. 'As for animals in general, she saw them as individual personalities often better behaved, and endowed with more dignity and honesty than humans. Cruelty to or neglect of any helpless living creature could turn her incandescent with rage.' Janice Robertson remembers how [...] Highsmith was walking through the streets of Soho when she saw a wounded pigeon lying in the gutter. 'Pat decided there and then that this pigeon should be rescued,' says Janice. 'Although I think Roland persuaded her that it was past saving, she really was distraught. She couldn't bear to see animals hurt.' Bruno Sager, Highsmith's carer at the end of her life, recalls the delicacy with which the writer would take hold of a spider which had crawled into the house, making sure to deposit it safely in her garden. 'For her human beings were strange - she thought she would never understand them - and perhaps that is why she liked cats and snails so much,' he says.”

“The gutters in the lane overflowed with an odd, languid grace. Water filled the lane; rose from ankle-deep to knee-deep. Insects swam in circles. Urchins splashed about haphazardly, while Saraswati returned from market with a shopping-bag in her hands; insects swam away to avoid this clumsy giant. Her wet footprints printing the floor of the house were as rich with possibility as the first footprint Crusoe found on his island.”

“Mentre a livello visivo, del significante, il gutter [spazio bianco fra le vignette] divide un segno iconico dal seguente, a livello di significato, in quanto spazio negativo rispetto al disegno (ma che rappresenta l'unit脿 della pagina), il gutter unisce, perch茅 racchiude tutto ci貌 che l'autore ha ritenuto di poter tralasciare, sapendo che 猫 gi脿 nella testa del lettore, ai fini del continuum narrativo. - pag. 137”

“Some heavy drinkers can鈥檛 sober up 鈥� they are dazed 24/7. They fall into the fire; it鈥檚 ok. They sleep in a stinking gutter; it鈥檚 ok. They urinate and vomit on their body; it鈥檚 ok. Every disgusting thing is ok to the drunkard.”
