The Butterfly - controversial 1947 novel by James M. Cain

Description: On offer is Jazz Masters in Transition, 1957-1969, by noted jazz writer and editor Martin Williams, the fifth volume in the MacMillan Jazz Masters history series. The giants of those years are all here--Monk, Rollins, Coltrane, Miles, Bill Evans, Ray Charles, Brubeck, etc. This volume collects about 85 reviews, interviews, and articles published by Williams over the decade. Newspaper reporter, novelist, and screenwriter James M Cain (1892-1977) set this intense novel in West Virginia in the late 1930s. "It is the story of a farmer, and of the daughter who came back to him years after he had almost forgotten her, and of the wife who had deserted him, and of the man who had stolen his wife. It is, inevitably, swiftly paced, suffused with passion, knife-like in its descriptive power." (From the book jacket.)
