Just wanted to commend Tim Wohlforth on the fine job he did
chairing the panel on noir at Left Coast Crime in Seattle
this weekend. He had a strong group of writers to work with
in Megan Abbott, Con Lehane, Cornelia Read and Edward Wright.
A nice range of topics were discussed -- the flexible
definition of the term, the connection with film noir, the
influence of online journals like Plots With Guns and
Thuglit, the role humor plays in the genre. Tim even got the
weather to cooperate so that it was suitably overcast when
the proceedings started. Nicely done.Vince
