Patricia Highsmith Patricia Highsmith (January 19, 1921 – February 4, 1995) was an American novelist and short story writer, known for her psychological thrillers, which led to more than two dozen film adaptations. Her first novel, "Strangers on a Train", has been adapted for stage and screen numerous times, notably by Alfred Hitchcock in 1951. Highsmith wrote 22 novels, including her series of five novels with Tom Ripley as protagonist, and many short stories. Existentialism is the literary movement that most influenced her writing, with "Dostoyevsky and Gide through Camus and Sartre" among her favorite authors. Graham Greene described Highsmith as "the poet of apprehension rather than fear. Fear after a time...is narcotic, it can lull one by fatigue into sleep, but apprehension nags at the nerves gently and inescapably." Published under the pseudonym of "Claire Morgan," Highsmith wrote the first lesbian novel with a happy ending, "The Price of Salt", republished 38 years later as "Carol" under her own name.

Henry Chinaski Henry Charles "Hank" Chinaski is the literary alter ego of the American writer Charles Bukowski, appearing in five of Bukowski's novels, a number of his short stories and poems, and in the films "Barfly" and "Factotum". Although much of Chinaski's biography is based on Bukowski's own life story, the Chinaski character is still a literary creation that is constructed with the veneer of what the writer Adam Kirsch calls "a pulp fiction hero." Works of fiction that feature the character include "Confessions of a Man Insane Enough to Live With the Beasts" (1965), "Post Office" (1971), "South of No North" (1973), "Factotum" (1975), "Women" (1978), "Ham on Rye" (1982), "Hot Water Music" (1983), "Hollywood" (1989), and "Septuagenarian Stew" (1990). He is also mentioned briefly in the beginning of Bukowski's last novel, "Pulp".
