September is now slipping away, and I want to thank Miker for
the good job he did by presenting all these essays and
reference books about HB, noir lit. And by answering all the
things we came with on the discussion table. Thanks
Miker.
I will add one reference book, which is not a great study on
HB, but a great book making us to understand what is it
really about the classic crime detection novels territories,
and assimilated. It really helps to have a better view of
*what definitely is not HB and noir*, by giving a terrific
analysis of the defects of a genre lit. and the twisted looks
the whodunits have on the society and people.Helps to see
more clearly where the borders are.. even if HB/noir is not
discussed in the book. It's written with style and it's very
clever, nothing to do with these boring university
thesis/essays on lit. A very good read. Written by an
Englishman, an author himself part of the trade he's
analyzing:
"Snobbery with violence: English crime stories and their
audience" by Colin Watson.
I mentioned a few times this essay on R-A in the past. The
book is one of my favorites.
