Description: The title was the key for me in reading this novel. It's about "tremors"--the little twinges of doubt and guilt that affect everyone. The question that Highsmith poses is whether her protagonist is going to ignore those tremors, and thus lead something of an amoral (even evil) life. The answer to this is very ambiguous, but in a good way. In many ways this novel reminded me of The Stranger by Albert Camus--the same North African dolor, the same detached protagonist with few moral qualms. The reading was s-l-o-w and a bit dry in places, but oddly alluring and page turning. It propelled me through, even when nothing was "happening". I don't understand why people said the writing was bad; it was clean and understated. All in all, it's worth picking up--if you're in the mood for some existentialist food for thought.
