I'm in the same grad school boat, but read the heck out of
everything
anyway. Nice to have you around. A class on hardboiled
fiction? Where is
this? While I am glad to see the genre get some academic
notice,
personally, it would seem to take the fun out of it. I've
seen many of my
college lit courses drain all the wonder out of great books
in order to
discuss critical theory (the Horror!), but it's "necessary" I
suppose.
