Beautifully illustrated, and full of interesting facts. The point is to humanize Pat, showing all of her quirks, flaws, and cooler qualities

Beautiful artwork. The author really encouraged me to reflect on Patricia Highsmiths legacy with who she was as a person. Very interesting read.

"Flung Out of Space" is a great graphic novel with intriguing artwork and a captivating narrative. Surprisingly, I found Patricia Highsmith's fictionalized character to be quite relatable and portrayed in a more sympathetic light. The story skillfully depicts her as a complex individual grappling with personal struggles and unresolved resentment. A delightful and well-crafted read that left me wishing for more pages.

Very well-written and illustrated graphic novel.

I didn't really know anything much about Highsmith before except I'd seen that Carol movie. I wonder if she'd have been a better person if she lived in more affirming times. I kinda think not, but at least she would have lived in times more accepting of flawed women.
