David Goodis
David Goodis (1917-1967) was a Philadelphia-born pulp expressionist who brought jazz style and hallucinatory intensity to his spare, passionate, uncompromising novels of mean streets and doomed protagonists. His works often featured innocent men railroaded for their wife’s murder (as in Dark Passage), famous crooners scarred by violence and descending into dereliction (Street of No Return), or petty criminals derailed by irresistible passion (The Burglar).
Long a cult figure, Goodis’s works have been adapted for the screen by directors including Fran ois Truffaut, Delmer Daves, and Samuel Fuller. He is a unique figure in the pantheon of American crime writing.
Megan Abbott is the Edgar Award-winning author of twelve novels, including El Dorado Drive and Dare Me.
