MrT says: So I propose that we add West to the list of noir
precursors and practitioners. When we go down that way, we
end up collecting a lot of the greatest American writers,
starting with Twain and including Faulkner and Hemingway -
and now West.
*****************************************
the only things i've read by twain, aside from _tom sawyer_
and _huckleberry finn_, are his autobiographical
_life on the mississippi_ and a bunch of his humorous short
stories.
none of those really seem "noirish", but i understand that
his later works, like _the mysterious stranger_, are
darker.
