Blues of a Lifetime The Autobiography of Cornell Woolrich Edited by Mark T. Bassett Popular Press Cornell George Hopley Woolrich (1903–1968) published 22 novels and more than 200 short stories during his career, including a widely read "black series" of suspense novels during the 1940s. More of his work was translated into film noir than that of any other writer. Blues of a Lifetime is essential reading for people interested in this suspense novelist and author of Rear Window. Woolrich's autobiography includes accounts of his working methods, his family and home, memories of childhood, college experience, and his philosophy of life. Three topics of paramount importance to Woolrich are discussed at length: writing, romance, and despair.
