One of the leading paperback mystery writers of the 1950s, Day Keene also wrote for radio, television, movies, and pulp magazines. In addition to creating some of the most memorable noir nightmares ever published, Keene (real name: Gunnar Hjerstedt) also wrote widely praised mainstream novels such as Chautauqua , which was the basis for the Elvis Presley movie T he Trouble With Girls .
Reviews
On Jan 29 2011, RichardALupoff said:
Day Keene was one of the most talented writers to make the pulp-to-paperback transition in the 1950s. Along the way he wrote for radio and the screen, as well. A clever plotter and smooth stylist, he was largely and undeservedly forgotten for many years. He seems to be enjoying a long-overdue renaissance. I love his work and recommend HOME IS THE SAILOR or any of the recent collections of his short stories and novelettes that have appeared recently. A fine, talented writer -- if you've never read him before, and you like hardboiled writing, you're in for a treat!
