英语词汇chewing gum of american literature的起源、历史背景-英语词源词典

chewing gum of American literature. Author Mickey Spil- lane (1918–2006) liked to call his own work the “chewing gum of American literature,” especially after a critic castigated his “nasty novels.” Saturday Review of Literature summarized I, The Jury, his first novel, as “lurid action, lurid characters, lurid plot, lurid finish.” But none of that bothered Mr. Spillane. He didn’t write for the critics, he explained, he wrote for the public; he was a “money writer.” He just went on writing violent popular books like Kiss Me Deadly, My Gun Is Quick, and Vengeance Is Mine. He was, he said, “critic-proof.”
