Best Study of Noir Literature I've Read!,
By
This review is from: The American Roman Noir: Hammett, Cain, and Chandler (Paperback)
William Marling's fine book is a wonderful introduction to the field of hard-boiled detective fiction for the serious scholar. He traces the historical background of noir fiction, provides several case studies of central texts, and gives biographies of Hammett, Chandler, and Cain. He respects the genre without being fawning. This book is very readable and academically sound at the same time.
