Publisher's Note
"The Killer Inside Me; The Talented Mr. Ripley Pick-Up; Down There"; and "TheReal Cool Killers". From "The Postman Always Rings Twice", James M. Cain's pioneering 1934 novel of murder and adultery along the California highway, to Chester Himes' "The Real Cool Killers" (1959), with its fast-paced portrait of a Harlem street gang, the eleven novels collected in this adventurous two-volume anthology present a rich vein of modern American writing too often neglected in mainstream literary histories. Evolving out of the terse and violent style of the pulp magazines--which also gave us Hammett and Chandler--this 'noir' or 'hardboiled' fiction expanded over the decades into a varied, innovative, and profoundly influential body of writing....Now, with this two-volume Library of America set, these dark American works are at last being recognized for their powerful literary qualities and their unique, sometimes subversive role in shaping American language and culture....Tapping deep roots in American writing that go back as far as Poe and Brockden Brown, the works in this set have had a perverse influence on the contemporary cultural scene. Disturbing, poetic, anarchic, punctuated by terrifying bursts of rage and paranoia, and powerfully evocative of the lost and desperate back alleys of American life, these underground classics are now for the first time made widely and permanently available. Editor Robert Polito has contributed notes and newly researched biographical entries on each author.
Industry reviews
"These novels, nearly 2,000 pages in length, beautifully bound and arranged--often following rare first-edition design blueprints--contain some of the best crime writing of the genre's golden decades. They should give much pleasure to lovers of film noir and readers addicted to original and eclectic writing." Los Angeles Times Book Review - Nicholas Christopher (11/09/1997) "Nevertheless, this is an essential set, not just for crime devotees, but also for serious students of American culture and literature, as the influence of the novels contained in these two volumes weighs heavily on both. Forget about renting the movies, just buy the books." Boston Book Review - Gary S. Kadet (11/01/1997)
