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 characters include an innocent man railroaded for his wife’s murder (Dark Passage), a famous crooner scarred by violence and descending into dereliction (Street of No Return), and a petty criminal derailed by irresistible passion (The Burglar). Long a cult figure whose works have been adapted for the screen by directors such as Fran ois Truffaut, Delmer Daves, and Samuel Fuller, Goodis is a unique figure in the pantheon of American crime writing.
