Nothing That Meets the Eye: The Uncollected Stories of Patricia HighsmithThis volume spans almost fifty years of Highsmith's career and establishes her as a permanent member of our American literary canon, as attested by recent publication of two of these stories in The New Yorker and Harper's. The stories assembled in Nothing That Meets the Eye, written between 1938 and 1982, are vintage Highsmith: a gigolo like psychopath preys on unfulfilled career women; a lonely spinster's fragile hold on reality is tethered to the


This volume spans almost fifty years of Highsmith's career and establishes her as a permanent member of our American literary canon, as attested by recent publication of two of these stories in The New Yorker and Harper's. The stories assembled in Nothing That Meets the Eye, written between 1938 and 1982, are vintage Highsmith: a gigolo-like psychopath preys on unfulfilled career women; a lonely spinster's fragile hold on reality is tethered to the bottle; an estranged postal worker invents homicidal fantasies about his coworkers. While some stories anticipate the diabolical narratives of the Ripley novels, others possess a Capra-like sweetness that forces us to see the author in a new light. From this new collection, a remarkable portrait of the American psyche at mid-century emerges, unforgettably distilled by the inimitable eye of Patricia Highsmith. A New York Times Notable Book and a Washington Post Rave of 2002.

Unsafe
This looked like a great idea for my energetic pup until I charged it and turned it on. It worked for maybe 3 minutes and she loved it while it was moving. It stopped suddenly and when I opened the Velcro to pull out the ball to check it, it was VERY warm. Unsafe for human or dog. For over $20 I would expect more for a dog toy. Cheap and non working! I will request a refund !

Great For Dogs With High Prey Instincts
My high prey instinct, Husky/Malamute, loves it. The moment it started moving she was on it. Wouldn't let her brother near it. Not noisy. Has USB port so you can recharge it. It's Very cute. Easy to clean you just pop off the covering and toss it in the washer. Great Brain stimulation - that also allows them to get their energy out - without having to talk a long walk in the middle of winter. Just what I was looking for.

Good toy
My dog really loves toys, technically he loves to kill toys. This toy is supposed to be chew proof but after 1 day my dog managed to pry it open where the Velcro is to hold the ball inside and rip the Velcro out. Now when he shakes it the plastic ball comes flying out so it had to be removed. It also gets super slimy after he chews on it. He still loves to chew and shake the toy itself so overall it was a good buy since I don’t have to spend most of my day walking through my house picking up stuffing that he has pulled out of his other toys. He is not a big dog by the way just a Boston terrier with stuffed animal issues lol.
