RARA-AVIS: Deco Noir

MARK SULLIVAN (ANONYMEINC@webtv.net)
Mon, 8 Jun 1998 01:14:16 -0400 (EDT) In "Box 9," Jack O'Connell writes:

Ephraim is the Anglophile. Ike, surprisingly, likes his book crimes
hard-boiled and urban. Neither one of them knows what to make of the
new wave of deco noir books from France where there is no hero, little
plot, and just page after page of random, bizarre violence.

Do these books really exist or is this just O'Connell joking about
post-structuralism and Robbe-Grillet's "theory of the new novel"? If
they exist, have any been translated into English? Can anyone help me?

Thanks,
Mark
