Cain, Raymond Chandler, Jim Thompson, David Goodis ... these are a few of the masters of noir responsible for the great lurid paperbacks of the thirties, forties, and fifties. With titles like <i>The Big Sleep, Kiss Tomorrow Goodbye, </i>and <i>Street of the Lost, </i>with racy cover lines like My gun-butt smashed his skull! and Ruthless terror ripped away the mask that hid cold fear, and with some of the most extraordinary cover illustrations ever to grace American literature, these paperbacks held the ingredients of American nightmares. In <i>Harboiled America</i>--lavishly illustrated with 135 paperback covers, and expanded with new material on Thompson, Goodis, and others--Geoffrey O'Brien masterfully explores the art, history, and ideas of the American paperback.<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>Geoffrey O'Brien is the author of <i>Floating City: Selected Poems 1978-1995</i>, <i>The Phantom Empire</i>, <i>Dream Time</i>, and other books. Executive editor of The Library of America, he also edited <i>The Reader's Catalog</i>.
