Double Cain
Article Abstract:
Critics describe American author James Cain's writings as crude, vulgar, gross, and full of trickery. Cain's focus on violence, sex, stench, and man's brutishness induced their aversion. Sigmund Freud's essay on "The 'Uncanny,'" theoretically explains the relations among identification, sex, and smell. Cain's animalized men induce disgust as they force readers to recognize the presence of a similar savageness within their 'civilized' selves. Cain portrays smell as a tyrannical violation of self by an odor, wafted from the sexual other that inevitably leads to crime.
