The protagonist of one of this author's novels starts a newspaper called the Brunswick Corner Bugle and fatally trips down a flight of steps while holding a bust of her cat-killing son Cliffe. Two characters created by this author begin a relationship despite one having timidly replaced "I love you" with "Salutations" in a Christmas card; one of those characters works as an off-Broadway stage designer and does her shopping at Frankenberg's. In a pseudonymously published novel by this author of Edith's Diary, two of her characters go on a cross-country road trip and one of them almost loses custody of her child after (*) Harge, her awful husband, threatens to expose her relationship with Carol Aird. The title character of one of her novels kills the playboy Dickie Greenleaf and takes on Greenleaf's identity. For 10 points, name this author of The Price of Salt and The Talented Mr. Ripley.
