Product Description
Neon Noir, the follow-up to Woody Haut's highly regarded Pulp Culture, brings the story of American crime fiction and the related films up to date. From the Kennedy assassination to the Vietnam War and Watergate, through Reaganomics to Irangate and Whitewater, Neon Noir is a roller-coaster ride through the American nightmare. Haut investigates the dark side of America through the work of writers such as James Ellroy, Elmore Leonard, Walter Mosley, James Lee Burke, Lawrence Block, James Sallis, George P. Pelecanos, Charles Willeford, Jerome Charyn, Sara Paretsky, Vicki Hendricks, KC Constantine, George V Higgins and James Crumley.

5.0 out of 5 stars New Noir, June 21, 2000
By A Customer
Like many people, I often wondered why more fim noir films aren't made. Neon Noir gives a simple answer: they are. It examines how film noir has changed since the 50's and who makes them. It also analyzes contemporary film noir and attempts to explain why film noir has changed as it has.
