This article talks about some of the inspiration behind The Price of Salt. It examines how that inspiration was acquired and how the inspiration actually manifested in the novel.

The article is a relevant source for my Wikipedia article because it examines how Highsmith came up with the idea for her novel and how it fits in context of her writing her other novels. This article meets Wikipedia’s standards because it is a secondary source that was published in a reputable journal.
