Cain is really physically exciting to read. During parts of Postman Always Rings Twice I had to get up and pace around the room. Plus he writes books made into 'women's pictures' (like Mildred Pierce), you can't say that of Hemmed-in-way.

True but there is Tony Richardson's film of "Hills Like White Elephants", a story every Hem-hater should read before expostulating.

picked up career in c major, not really into it tbh but lol'd @ this brief intro by roy hoopes explaining cain struggling starting to write this and sez:

Then he thought: Why not make her a singer and a bitch? He did, and the story took off.
