What Is Noir?

Thank you for reminding me about Noir. I love it. The more fatalistic & bleak the better it is.

Ordered COOL HAND LUKE by Donn Pearce.

You know the story. But the book is better than the movie, and accurate.
 
Started a novella I call BAY CITY BLUES: Cockroach Love

A Hispanic beauty moves to Bay City where she opens a tasca bar at an old hotel in a blighted part of town. Then the President floods Bay City with impoverished and criminal illegals the locals call 'cockroaches.'
