Jim and others: Concerning your comment about noir not yet existing as a literary term when POSTMAN was published, can you or anyone tell us when the term noir was first applied to literature? Who did it and can you give the cite? Not that I'm doubting you, I've just mulled this over from time to time and would like to read about it.
