James M. Cain was among the prominent member of the "hard-boiled"
school of writing that characterized the 1930s and 1940s, one of
the masters of the genre that included Dashiell Hammett and Raymond
Chandler. His novels became such popular film noir classics as The
Postman always Rings Twice, Double Indemnity, and Mildred Pierce,
and his 1937 novel Serenade boldly portrayed its hero as a
bisexual. Cain also taught journalism at various colleges in
Maryland, wrote editorials for the New York World, and was for a
brief time managing editor at The New Yorker. This is the first
biography of James M. Cain written with the full cooperation of the
late novelist's family.
