Event Details from the New York Times:

The fourth title selected for T Magazine’s book club, “The Talented Mr. Ripley” by Patricia Highsmith, tells the story of a young American grifter in Italy. Tom Ripley arrives in the fictional town of Mongibello with the assigned task of convincing Dickie Greenleaf, the son of a shipping magnate, to return to the States. Instead, Tom — seduced by the ease with which charming, wealthy Dickie is able to move through life — becomes his constant companion. But Tom’s fondness for and envy of his new friend grow to the point of obsession, and he soon raises the stakes of the confidence game he’s been playing all along.

On April 22, at 7:00 pm EST, watch a virtual discussion about the book, featuring the writer Edmund White in conversation with T features director Thessaly La Force,that will address questions from readers. And, in the weeks leading up to the event, look for articles on “The Talented Mr. Ripley” at tmagazine.com.
