Cain, James M. (James Mallahan), 1892-19772005
Books
The torrid story of Frank Chambers, the amoral drifter, Cora, the sullen and brooding wife, and Nick Papadakis, the amiable but inconvenient husband has become a classic of its kind, and established Cain as a major novelist with a spare and vital prose style and a bleak vision of America.
