Marital operatic battles? What was Cain thinking?!?, Aug 10 2003
By lazza - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Career in C Major (Paperback)
'Career in C Major' is a surprisingly weak short novel by James Cain. While it is not poorly written, the book's entire premise is utterly absurd. We have a middle class, middle-aged man in 1930s New York City married to a posh, semi-neurotic wench. The wife believes she has sacrificed a promising career in opera to get married and have children, and now wants to return to opera. Okay, so far so good. But then it turns out that the husband, without any singing background whatsoever, is a naturally gifted and reluctant Caruso who upstages his (very envious) wife! I am surprised such nonsense was dished out by the normally wonderful Cain. No doubt such rubbish was published only because of his reputation.Bottom line: dreadful.
Listmania!
