This kind of writing at its best is the most energized and truth-telling writing going today. <br /><br />Check out Owen Hill's wonderful pair of Northern California noir novellas: The Chandler Apartments and The Incredible Double. I just discovered him and he's fantastic. He perfectly captures the decadent and morally ambivalent world we live in.<br /><br />Or Niccolo Ammaniti, whose noir novels I'm Not Scared and As God Commands are considered mainstream in Italy and have won big literary prizes there. <br /><br />And you can always pick up a copy of my just out collection of neo-pulp noir called Bad Juju & Other Tales of Madness and Mayhem.<br /><br />Cheers,<br /><br />Jonathan<br />www.southernnoir.comJonathanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15440333681601526733noreply@blogger.com
