Although Cain himself vehemently opposed labelling, he is usually associated with the hardboiled school of American crime fiction and seen as one of the creators of the roman noir Cain was born into an Irish Catholic family in Annapolis, Maryland . The son of a prominent teacher and an opera singer, he had 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 in at age 17, Cain enlisted in the Army and spent the final year of World War I in France writing for an Army magazine. Back in the States he continued working as a journalist and briefly served as the managing editor of The New Yorker , but later turned to screenplays and finally to fiction Cain 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);

James M. Cain James M. Cain , conceded by many writers and critics to be one of the most influential of America's popular authors, is remembered primarily for his four controversial novels of the 1930s and '40s The Postman Always Rings Twice Double Indemnity Serenade , and Mildred Pierce . However, Cain was essentially a writer of short fiction. This is confirmed when we recall that two of the above stories Postman and Double Indemnity , which Ross MacDonald described as "a pair of American masterpieces"are really novellas, barely qualifying as full-length works of fiction. Probably no one was more surprised at the worldwide reaction to The Postman Always Rings Twice when it was published in 1934 than its author, James M. Cain . His little novel rocked readers and critics as they had never been rocked before. Cain had described Postman simply as being about "a couple of jerks who discover that murder, though dreadful enough morally, can be a love story, too, but then wake up to discover that once they've pulled the thing off, no two people can share this terrible secret." It was his favorite theme, which he had already developed in his 1928 short story "Pastorale" and would use again in his 1936 Liberty Magazine serial

Choose another writer in this calendar: by name: A B C D ... Z by birthday from the calendar Credits and feedback TimeSearch for Books and Writers by Bamber Gascoigne James M(allahan) Cain (1892-1977) American journalist, screenwriter, and novelist - identified with Dashiell Hammett and Raymond Chandler and others as a central member of hard-boiled school of crime fiction. However, Cain's own opinion was "I belong to no school, hard-boiled or otherwise". Three of Cain's novels THE POSTMAN ALWAYS RINGS TWICE (1934), DOUBLE INDEMNITY (1936), and MILDRED PIERCE (1941) were also made into classics of the American screen. His books continued to appear after World War II, but none gained the success of his earlier work. "I make no conscious effort to be tough, or hard-boiled, or grim, or any of the things I am usually called. I merely try to write as the character would write, and I never forget that the average man, from the fields, the streets, the bars, the offices and even the gutters of his country, has acquired a vividness of speech that goes beyond anything I could invent, and that if I stick to this heritage, this logos of the American countryside, I shall attain a maximum of effectiveness with very little effort." (Cain in preface to Double Indemnity James M. Cain was born in Annapolis, as the son of an educator and an opera singer. He studied at Washington College, in Chesterton, Maryland, earning his B.A. at the age of eighteen, and masters in 1917. Cain worked then as a clerk, a meat-packer, a singer, and a teacher. During World War I in army service he was the editor of the 79th Division newspaper

16. James M. Cain Biography, photo and bibliography from the Film and Roman Noir site. http://www.eskimo.com/~noir/btitles/cain/index.shtml

James M. Cain During the 1930's and 40's James M. Cain was, along with Cornell Woolrich Raymond Chandler , and Dashiell Hammett , one of the creators of the roman noir genre. Cain was born in Annapolis on July 1, 1892. He was raised in Chestertown, Maryland, and graduated from Washington College, where his father was president. After serving in World War I, he returned to Baltimore where he began working as a reporter. He first worked for the Baltimore American and then for the Baltimore Sun until 1923. After a time in New York, Cain moved to Hollywood. There he tried screenwriting, but found greater success when he turned to fiction. His first novel, The Postman Always Rings Twice , was published in 1934 and was a runaway bestseller. Cain returned to Maryland in 1948, settling in Hyattsville. He continued to write and was a familiar figure on the College Park campus. James M. Cain died October 27th, 1977. Cain did not write mysteries or detective fiction; he wrote novels of crime, sex and violence. The majority of Cain's plots follow the same predictable plan: a man falls for a woman, becomes involved in criminal activity with the woman, and is eventually betrayed by the woman. Although predictable, this basic plot line was used to great success, and continues to be serviceable today such as in the Cain-inspired films Body Heat or Blood Simple . Cain's writing style is hard boiled, pared down to essential phrases with terse, almost brutal simplicity.
