Intro to NOIR / The Postman Always Rings Twice (James M. Cain)
There's a fried cat, a woman who trains pumas, and a murder plot that goes sideways. Our new season explores the gritty world of noir, full of crime, antiheroes and snappy dialogue.
We're getting things started with James M. Cain's 1934 debut novel, The Postman Always Rings Twice.
Our sponsor this season is Perfect Books, booksellers you can find near the corner of Elgin and Somerset in downtown Ottawa. All of the books we're reading this season are available for sale there now.http://perfectbooks.ca/wp/
