RARA-AVIS: Cain and his girl muse

John Lau speculates that a bad girl corrupted Cain's mind and
inspired
his writing. I wonder what experiences David Goodis had with
big
luscious girls in tandem with thin frail ones; as someone
pointed out
the other day, it's a recurrent theme -- notably, in _Cassidy's
Girl_
which I felt compelled to reread in order to recover from how
bad _The
Burglar_ was. CG remains a great yarn, despite the crude
implausibilities and the liberally applied corn. This one
rocks.
