James M. Cain
James Mallahan Cain (July 1, 1892 – October 27, 1977) was an American author and journalist. Although Cain himself vehemently opposed labeling, he is usually associated with the hardboiled school of American crime fiction and seen as one of the creators of the ''roman noir''. Several of his crime novels inspired highly successful movies.
==Early life==
Cain was born into an Irish Catholic family in Annapolis, Maryland. The son of a prominent educator and an opera singer, he had inherited a love for music from his mother, but his hopes of starting a career as a singer himself were thwarted when she told him that his voice was not good enough. The family moved to Chestertown, Maryland, in 1903. In 1910, Cain graduated from Washington College where his father, James W. Cain, served as president. By 1914 Cain had decided to become a writer. He began working as a journalist for the ''Baltimore American'' and then the ''Baltimore Sun''.〔Madden (2011), pp. xix–xx〕
Cain was drafted into the United States Army and spent the final year of World War I in France writing for an army magazine.
