James Mallahan Cain (July 1, 1892–October 27, 1977) was an American journalist and novelist. Although Cain himself vehemently opposed labeling, he is usually associated with the hard-boiled school of American crime fiction and seen as one of the creators of the "roman noir."
He was born into an Irish Catholic family in Annapolis, Maryland, the son of a prominent educator and an opera singer. He inherited his love for music from his mother, but his high hopes of starting a career as a singer himself were thwarted when she told him that his voice was not good enough.
After graduating from Washington College where his father, James W. Cain served as president, in 1910, he began working as a journalist for The Baltimore Sun.
He was drafted into the United States Army and spent the final year of World War I in France writing for an Army magazine. On his return to the United States he continued working as a journalist, writing editorials for the New York World and articles for American Mercury. He also served briefly as the managing editor of The New Yorker, but later turned to screenplays and finally to fiction.
Although Cain spent many years in Hollywood working on screenplays, his name only appears on the credits of three films, Algiers, Stand Up and Fight, and Gypsy Wildcat.
His first novel (he had already published Our Government in 1930), The Postman Always Rings Twice was published in 1934. Two years later the serialized, in Liberty Magazine, Double Indemnity was published.
He made use of his love of music and of the opera in particular in at least three of his novels: Serenade (about an American opera singer who loses his voice and who, after spending part of his life south of the border, re-enters the States illegally with a Mexican prostitute in tow), Mildred Pierce (in which, as part of the subplot, the only daughter of a successful businesswoman trains as an opera singer) and Career in C Major (a short semi-comic novel about the unhappy husband of an aspiring opera singer who unexpectedly discovered that he has a better voice than she does).
He continued writing up to his death at the age of 85. His last three published works, The Baby in the Icebox (1981), Cloud Nine (1984) and The Enchanted Isle (1985) being published posthumously. However, the many novels he published from the late 1940s onward never quite rivaled his earlier successes.
An amoral young tramp.A beautiful, sullen woman with an inconvenient husband.A problem that has only one grisly solution--a solution that only creates other problems that no one can ever solve.
First published in 1934 and banned in Boston for its explosive mixture of violence and eroticism, The Postman Always Rings Twice is a classic of the roman noir . It established James M. Cain as a major novelist with an unsparing vision of America's bleak underside, and was acknowledged by Albert Camus as the model for The Stranger .
很多年前,在一个失眠之夜,我在半梦半醒中没头没尾地看了一部气氛阴暗、纠结着欲望和罪恶的电影,主演是杰克•尼科尔森(Jack Nicholson)和杰西卡•兰格(Jessica Lange)。我当时并不知道那部电影的名字。最近,我开始读詹姆斯•M•凯恩(James M.Cain)的一部小说...
評分我看见你了,我一定要把你搞到手,我跟你相爱了,我们就是去杀人也要在一起,我们终于在一起了,你却死了,然后我也得死。 这就是当年的超级畅销小说,詹姆斯•M•凯恩的《邮差总按两次铃》。语言平实,近乎白描,倒也符合内容——人物目的明确,行动直达欲望中心...

評分最近看完的两本小说真是天差地别的风格。茨威格的《心灵的焦灼》讲的是一件非常简单甚至是普通的故事,但是他把每一时刻都解剖成无数的心理小组织,简直是一个细胞一个细胞地描述,把化简为繁做到极致了,简直是一个心理学的微观世界。 《邮差总按两遍铃》写的是一个足以传播N...
評分看外國作品就是這點不好----你無法直接讀到作者的文字,自然也就無法直觀的領略到語句之美----就算是直觀,讀的人不同,得到的感覺還千差萬別呢! 所以,對于這本書,除了它根據真實故事改編的更加戲性和主觀性,覺得它沒有那么名副其實--當然我其實沒有底氣說這話,畢竟我讀的...
