«Small g: un idilio de verano» is the novel by Patricia Highsmith, published in hardcover by Círculo de Lectores, with 387 pages in Spanish.
In Zurich, the Jacob's café appears in guides with a lowercase «g»: it is a gay meeting point, though not exclusively. There, Rickie, a homosexual man in his fifties who has just lost his murdered lover, and Luisa, a young woman who also loved that man, come together. Highsmith weaves with them a web of loves, desires and friendships over a summer.
The work was originally published in English as «Small g: A Summer Idyll»; this Spanish edition appeared in 1996.
For readers of Highsmith and literary fiction who value stories with LGTB settings and themes.

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.
