內容簡介

內容簡介 ◎「偵探流派」轉向「犯罪流派」的里程碑巨作◎30年代引發強烈爭議的禁書，◎兩度被好萊塢拍成情慾電影的異色小說！一個以公路為家、四處漂泊的流浪漢，行經一家公路客店時，為女主人的姿色所惑，而與之暗通款曲，並合謀聯手。第一次計畫因保險絲斷裂而告失敗，第二次製造假意外而一舉成功。二人原本可高枕無憂，廝守終生，然而因為個性之差異及對彼此的不信任而終至露出破綻，難逃天理的制裁。《郵差總按兩次鈴》寫的不是愛情，而是赤裸裸的慾望。男主角法蘭克是那種潛入偷乘火車或卡車的流浪漢，女主角則是公路旁小餐廳的年輕老闆娘，嫁了一個比自己老很多的油膩希臘人，終日埋首於髒碗盤之中，一肚子枉費青春的怨恨。兩人相識不及數日就有了姦情，他們不是那種會談情說愛的社會階層，一切都來得直接，憑乎本能。當他們決心聯手殺掉女主角的丈夫，故事的張力就大了起來，而這正是犯罪小說最精采的地方，準確地描寫犯罪者的理由以及他們的行為、心理狀態。我咬了她，咬得如此深，我能感覺到血液湧入我口中。當我抱她上樓時，血順著她的脖子流下……本中文書介出自《郵差總按兩次鈴》遠流出版事業股份有限公司出版"

作者介紹

作者介紹 James M. Cain James Mallahan Cain (1892-1977) was a first-rate writer of American hard-boiled crime fiction. Born in Baltimore, the son of the president of Washington College, Cain began his career as a reporter, serving in the American Expeditionary Force in World War I and writing for The Cross of Lorraine, the newspaper of the 79th Division. He returned from the war to embark on a literay career that included a professorship at St. John's College in Annapolis and a stint at The New Yorker as managing editor before he went to Hollywood as a script writer. Cain's famous first novel, The Postman Always Rings Twice, was published in 1934 when he was forty-two, and became an instant sensation. It was tried for obscenity in Boston and was said by Albert Camus to have inspired his own book, The Stranger. The infamous novel was staged in 1936, and filmed in 1946 and 1981. The story of a young hobo who has an affair with a married woman and plots with her to murder her husband and collect his insurance, The Postman Always Rings Twice is a benchmark of classic crime fiction and film noir. Two of Cain's other novels, Mildred Pierce (1941) and Double Indemnity (1943), were also made into film noir classics. In 1974, James M. Cain was awarded the Grand Master Award by the Mystery Writers of America. Cain published eighteen books in all and was working on his autobiography at the time of his death.
