Cain, Paul: Fast One. v1.5 16 July 07
CORRECTION: Changed Paragraph attribute to point 10. Version 1.5 indicates this correction
__________________________
I highly recommend Paul Cain if you like hard-edged private eye novels.
Here's one quote:
"The edgiest pulp novel ever written. Fast One was originally a collection of stories featuring the gambler/gunman Kells. The tales ran in Black Mask magazine from 1931-1932. This work has been occasionally republished, most recently as a graphic novel by No Exit Press. Raymond Chandler considered this novel "the high point in the ultra hard-boiled manner."
Little is known about the life of writer George Carrol Sims, who used the pseudoynms Paul Cain for his pulp career, and Peter Ruric for his tasks as a screenwriter. Sims was that rarest of creatures--a succesful novelist and Hollywood scribe..."
I hope you like it.
