[bomp] Re: noir
Actually, "roman noir" is an expression widely used in French to described
hard-boiled crime novels. See also the quintessential "Sirie noire"
collection.

"If you want noir" you have to see it in a movie! It's a French term for the
movies their film critics missed during WWII and finally got to see later.A
"noir" novel is like a "stereo" pizza! In print, you would call it
"hard-boiled" fiction.
