James M. Cain Quote

Sarebbe difficile definire esattamente i piani di Mildred. Mildred era femmina in tutto e per tutto e la caratteristica di una mente femminile è che si comporta nella direttiva come una nave cui sia possibile virare di bordo all'infinito. Ogni virata si risolve in un vago angolo, eppure, inesorabilmente, tutta la manovra conduce l'imbarcazione in porto.

About James M. Cain

James Mallahan Cain (July 1, 1892 – October 27, 1977) was an American novelist, journalist and screenwriter. He is widely regarded as a progenitor of the hardboiled school of American crime fiction.
His novels The Postman Always Rings Twice (1934), Double Indemnity (1936), Serenade (1937), Mildred Pierce (1941) and The Butterfly (1947) brought him critical acclaim and an immense popular readership in America and abroad.
Though Cain never delivered a successful Hollywood screenplay, several of his novels were made into highly regarded films, among them Double Indemnity (1944), Mildred Pierce (1945) and The Postman Always Rings Twice (1946).
In 1970, Cain became one of the Edgar Awards' Grand Masters. He continued to write and publish novels into his eighties. A number of his works were issued posthumously, including The Cocktail Waitress (2012).
