Daniel Fuchs (June 25, 1909 – July 26, 1993) was an American screenwriter, fiction writer, and essayist. ==Biography== Daniel Fuchs was born in the Lower East Side, Manhattan, but his family migrated to Williamsburg, Brooklyn while Fuchs was an infant. He wrote three early novels, published by the Vanguard Press — ''Summer in Williamsburg'' (1934), ''Homage to Blenholt'' (1936), and ''Low Company'' (1937). The earlier two of these depicted Jewish life in Williamsburg; the last focused on various ethnic types in Brighton Beach. A single-volume edition of these was published by Basic Books in 1961 under the title "Three Novels." 〔http://lccn.loc.gov/61013511〕 Subsequent one-volume editions include ''The Brooklyn Novels,〔http://lccn.loc.gov/2006023170〕'' with an introduction by the novelist Jonathan Lethem, published in 2006 by Black Sparrow Books, an imprint of David R. Godine, Publisher. ''Homage to Blenholt'' concerns a well-meaning tenement ''schlemiel'' who hopes to escape poverty via various inventions and get-rich quick schemes. Fuchs also wrote short stories and personal essays, mainly for ''The New Yorker''. When he was 26, he moved to Los Angeles, California to work on films. Fuchs wrote the screenplay for the crime noir ''Criss Cross'' (1949). He also penned the psychodrama ''Panic in the Streets'' (1950), which was directed by Elia Kazan. In 1995, ''Criss Cross'' was remade as ''The Underneath'' by director Steven Soderbergh, with credit given to Fuchs. ''Love Me or Leave Me'', a biopic about the torch singer Ruth Etting, which won Fuchs an Oscar for Best Story in 1955, featured a performance by James Cagney in the role of a Chicago hoodlum and Doris Day as the beleaguered songstress. Fuchs' short Hollywood novel, "West of the Rockies," was published in 1971, and in 1979 appeared a collection of mostly earlier-written short stories, "The Apathetic Bookie Joint." ''The Golden West: Hollywood Stories,'' a collection of Fuchs's fiction and essays about Hollywood, was published in 2005 by Black Sparrow Books. Fuchs died in Los Angeles. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Daniel Fuchs」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
