I agree with Patrick.
Especially for "Buttefly" which is really
noir.
Confusion here is that a lot of the "speakers"
consider noir as as sub-genre or a sub-sub-genre, of
mystery/crime lit. It's not.
Noir is wider than mystrery lit, and as I
advocated it here many times, HB is just one of the sub-genre
it included.
Noir covers parts of gen lit, mystery,
humor...the list is long.
A little bit as in the mathematical theory of
sets: it contains sub-sets and intersects with other sets
(genres or type of lit) than mystery/crime.
Speaking of the origins, archaic forms, noir and
mystery/crime lived togheter and influenced one another all
along the way.
Even starting with the Bible...

Thanks
for your response, but why don't you consider Lolita
inparticular, and nymphette novels in general, noir novels?
What other genre do they fall under? It's the same problem
that involves many other noir novels: the anti-hero falling
under the sway of a female, leading to his downfall. The only
real difference is that the female is under 18-years-old,
adding another demention to the level of obsession and to the
darkness of the story. Cain's Butterfly is essentially this
same problem, isn't it? Would you not consider Butterfly a
noir novel?
