A short summary of The Postman Always Rings Twice:
A drifter drifts into an amorous entanglement and an assassination.
My favorite James M. Cain quote from the book:
"But love, when you get fear in it, it's not love anymore. It's hate."
Questions to ponder while reading the book:
Would you rather be comfortable or on your own?
Is there ever a good reason to commit a murder?
My review of The Postman Always Rings Twice:
Noir at its most politically incorrect.
Campy and cheesy but with surprising philosophical depth.
20th-century literary icon and the inspiration for so many other stories.
*Did you know? James M. Cain served in the US Army during World War II - read his Everyday Patriot biography here: A Soldier's Story: Private James Mallahan Cain
