失业的流浪汉 Frank Chambers 以第一人称叙述了他对 Cora Papadakis 的迷恋——她是加利福尼亚一家小酒馆老板、一位希腊移民的妻子;两人如何在激情与野心的交织下沦为情人。然而,除掉那位年迈的丈夫绝非易事。此外,他们还必须面对那深不可测的命运:那个总是按两次门铃的邮差。这部非凡小说(film noir 经典中的经典)的两度电影改编名声大噪,或许掩盖了 James M. Cain 本人的大师级功力。但无论电影如何,原作依然耀眼。

我想起了《The Postman Always Rings Twice》(邮差总按两遍铃)的第一句话,大意是“大约正午时分,他们把我从运干草的卡车上扔了下来。”我猜是因为故事发生地也是在加利福尼亚东南部的某个地方吧。
I am reminded of the first sentence of The Postman Always Rings Twice, something like "They threw me off the hay truck about noon." I suppose this is because it was somewhere out in southeastern California also.
