The Magician's Wife
by James M. Cain
Published by Carnegie Mellon University Press.
Paperback.
ISBN-13: 978-0887480188
In The Magician’s Wife, Cain returns to his
classic themes of lust and greed. Clay Lockwood, a business executive, falls in
love with the irresistible Sally Alexis, wife of a professional magician. Their
story is one of the inexorable process of “wishes coming true” – the
realization of which was always, for Cain, “a terrifying concept.”
James M. Cain was born in Annapolis in 1892.
He lived and worked in Hollywood for seventeen years, and spent the last years
of his life in Hyattsville, Maryland. His work, especially the best-sellers The
Postman Always Rings Twice, Double Indemnity, Mildred Pierce, and The
Butterfly, is known to millions in this country and abroad.
