Carol <\/em>utkom 1952 med namnet The price of salt <\/em> och under pseudonymen Claire Morgan. Senare trycktes den igen, med f\u00f6rfattarens riktiga namn, Patricia Highsmith. Ni kanske k\u00e4nner igen hennes namn fr\u00e5n thrillern Fr\u00e4mlingar p\u00e5 t\u00e5g <\/em>(som f\u00f6r \u00f6vrigt finns p\u00e5 min Hyllv\u00e4rmarutmaning 2018).<\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/div>\n
Jag \u00e4lskar 50-tals k\u00e4nslan i boken och ber\u00e4ttelsen f\u00e5ngade ganska snabbt in mig. Therese k\u00e4nns naiv, ung och \u00e4nnu os\u00e4ker p\u00e5 vem hon \u00e4r, det g\u00f6r boken trov\u00e4rdig. F\u00f6rsta sidorna ber\u00e4ttar om Therese arbete p\u00e5 varuhuset, n\u00e4rmast best\u00e4mt leksaksavdelningen, p\u00e5 ett s\u00e4tt som direkt gav bilden av arbetande kvinnor p\u00e5 den tiden.<\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/div>\n
Jag tycker att Highsmith \u00e4r en mycket skicklig f\u00f6rfattare. Hennes portr\u00e4ttering av Carol \u00e4r ocks\u00e5 v\u00e4ldigt mitt i prick. Det finns inga klich\u00e9r i boken och inga perfekta karakt\u00e4rer. Carol Aird \u00e4r s\u00e5 isande sval, men man m\u00e4rker att hon under ytan \u00e4r mycket mer. Therese och Carols k\u00e4rleksaff\u00e4r exploderar inte, den smyger sig p\u00e5, s\u00e5 l\u00e5ngsamt att man n\u00e4stan pl\u00e5gas lite.<\/div>\n
En mycket l\u00e4sv\u00e4rd bok som s\u00e4kert v\u00e4ckte en viss uppst\u00e5ndelse n\u00e4r den utkom f\u00f6rsta g\u00e5ngen. Den h\u00e5ller \u00e4n idag. Det enda jag inte riktigt gillade var privatdetektiv-h\u00e4ndelserna, de k\u00e4ndes lite f\u00f6r krystade. Men jag fick definitivt mersmak f\u00f6r Patricia Highsmith och beundrar Carol<\/em> som helhet. Vacker, intelligent, smakfull.<\/div>\n

N\u00e5gra bra citat fr\u00e5n boken, p\u00e5 engelska:<\/p><\/div>\n

\u00a0<\/div>\n
\u201cMy angel,” Carold said. ”Flung out of space.\u201d<\/em><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/div>\n
\u201cI feel I stand in a desert with my hands outstretched, and you are raining down upon me.\u201d<\/em><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/div>\n
\u201cWhat was it to love someone, what was love exactly, and why did it end or not end? Those were the real questions, and who could answer them?\u201d<\/em><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/div>\n
\u201cI feel I am in love with you, and it should be spring. I want the sun throbbing on my head like chords of music. I think of a sun like Beethoven, a wind like Debussy, and birdcalls like Stravinsky. But the tempo is all mine.\u201d<\/em><\/div>\n
