About This Item
Serpent's Tail, 1999. First edition. Mapping the fissures and scars of America's pscyhogeography, its morally ambiguous shadowlands, Neon Noir also considers the difference between past and present hardboilers, the impact of war and journalism on noirists, the portrayal of cities, the aesthetics of crime fiction, and the changing relationship between the books and the films. Fine and bright stiff wraps with strong spine and clean text throughout. A wonderful insight into the genre covering many of the groundbreakers from Elmore Leonard, Charles Willeford, George Higgins, James Ellroy and others.
