«Pájaros a punto de volar» is a book of fourteen stories by Patricia Highsmith, published by Círculo de Lectores in hardcover (281 pages, in Spanish).
The fourteen stories portray inhabitants of big cities: homeless people, streetwise girls, lovers trapped in their dreams, and men and women battered by life. Highsmith observes with sensitivity their fears, their conformism, and their small acts of rebellion in everyday life.
The volume published in 2002 was edited by Paul Ingendaay and translated by Isabel Núñez.
Patricia Highsmith was an American novelist and short story writer widely known for her psychological thrillers, including her series of five novels featuring the character Tom Ripley. She wrote 22 novels and numerous short stories in a career spanning nearly five decades, and her work has led to more than two dozen film adaptations. Her writing was influenced by existentialist literature and questioned notions of identity and popular morality. She was dubbed "the poet of apprehension" by novelist Graham Greene.
