not sure if it's dark enough to qualify as noir, but John O'Hara's HOPE OF
HEAVEN is a beautiful and tragic story set in the Golden Age
Evelyn Waugh's THE LOVED ONE probably fits the bill
IN A LONELY PLACE by Dorothy Hughes
Chandler's THE LITTLE SISTER
F. Scott Fitzgerald's PAT HOBBY STORIES capture the moral compromise
Ellroy's L.A. CONFIDENTIAL has as its central villain a character based on
Walt Disney. no shock that this entire storyline never made it into the movie
version
and now that I've managed to transition into movies, as I often do... SUNSET
BOULEVARD is the first and last word in Hollywood noir
John Lau
