Bill,
Re your question below:
"If someone wanted to buy one (or two) books about hardboiled
and noir, and was looking for background, criticism, history,
interpretation, opinion, etc., what would you
recommend?"
The finest single work of hard-boiled criticism ever to have
been produced is (although Miker hasn't mentioned it yet)
RAYMOND CHANDLER - MASTER OF AMERICAN NOIR, available
(occasionally) as a free e-book on the "University" section
of the Barnes & Nobel website.
It was written by . . . uh . . . oh damn, I used to remember.
Miker, who was the guy who wrote that masterful,
comprehensive tome?
