[bomp] Re: pulp b.s.
Interesting, I guess the distinction might be more strict in the
English-speaking world, but like I said in France hard-boiled novels have
been called "noir" for at least 60 years. The monumental (2700+ volumes)
"Serie noire" collection started in 1945.

> to call that old fiction or the latest crime fiction "noir" just strikes
me a misnomer that confuses people--no less than Platterpuss had to ask me
what it meant. I worked in publishing and editors calling their latest novel
a "noir" raised my hackles.
