Widmer, in his essay "The Way Out" in Madden's Tough Guy
Writers of the Thirties, declares the hardboiled character to
be a direct descendant of the hobo character. In the essay,
he mentions the hobo's appearance in several early-1900s
nonfiction literature. Have you read any hardboiled or noir
literature with a hobo as a main character? What were they?
What influence, if any, do you see the hobo image as having
on the hardboiled character?
