so I just finished breezing thru my complimentary copy of
Jason Starr's newest, HARD FEELINGS. my definition of noir
has always been embodied in James M. Cain's POSTMAN and
DOUBLE INDEMNITY. basically, you're fucked coming into this
world and you're fucked going out. anything you do in between
is just marking time. Hard Feelings embodies this ethos as
much as any book I've read in recent memory. Starr's
publisher made a smart move giving away a few copies of this
book because I'll definitely be looking for his other work as
soon as the room stops spinning.
