hello all--
i just stumbled upon this listing doing a net search for
jean-pierre melville; it's something i've been looking for
for a long time. needless to say, like everyone else here i'm
a fanatic about hard-boiled fiction and films. i first came
to the genre through hammett (the glass key, to be precise--
i love the movie and wanted to read the source) which led me
to raymond chandler-- who is probably my favorite writer--
and there was no turning back. i also am a massive ross
macdonald fan, but certainly don't restrict myself to them
(suggestions are welcome!). a mondern author i recently
discovered is john shannon, whose work i am very, very
impressed by...film noir is another of my loves, ranging from
the naked city to le samourai...
on other fronts: i'm a high school history/film (if it gets
approved!) teacher and basketball/field hockey/softball coach
living in st louis, mo.
that's all-- i'm really looking forward to hearing from this
list!
cheers, martha sakana@stlnet.com
