Rife with overtones of Dostoyevsky, The Glass Cell, first published
forty years ago, combines a quintessential Highsmith mystery with a
penetrating critique of the psychological devastation wrought by
the prison system. Falsely convicted of fraud, the easygoing but
naive Philip Carter is sentenced to six lonely, drug-ravaged years
in prison. Upon his release, Carter is a more suspicious and
violent man. For those around him, earning back his trust can mean
the difference between life and death. The Glass Cell's bleak and
compelling portrait of daily prison life and the consequences for
those who live it is, sadly, as relevant today as it was when the
book was first published in 1964."
