Cheers everyone, Just to announce my membership, probably the
second Swede in the history of the list. Have been reading
your posts for maybe two years. My history with noir/HB seems
to reflect that of many others, introduced through Black
Lizard in the 80s/90s and moved from there. The ones who blew
me off the road with their stories and writing have been
Thompson, Willeford and Ellroy. All the others of fame are
simply adding to the pleasure. Am currently reading Dig My
Grave Deep by Rabe. Considering all the knowledge and
expertise among all of you I cannot offer you any new
recommendations as a "house-warming gift", BUT if there are
any photography fans among you, Japanese photographer Daido
Moriyama is the most noir photographer ever. His grainy, hard
contrast pictures from the Tokyo back streets are black and
white fever. If you feel like having a new take on noir you
could go "read" his stuff in-between whatever text you are
reading. And have you noticed that Serpent's Tail has
released a short story collection by David Goodis, including
the novel Black Friday? /Mattias
