the urban wilderness...
Hi,
I'm an author and I'm new to this list. My name is not really
Hank Quinlan, but I do live in the outskirts of a border
town.
My interest in Film Noir and Hardboiled fiction goes back to
the early 50s, when I was living in Los Angeles, although I
didn't know particular films as
"Noir" then; I was fascinated by The Asphalt Jungle, The
Killing, The Killers, The Strange Love of Martha Ivers, The
Stranger, & the writings of Chandler. It had a real
relevance to my own life at the time - I too felt the sense
of worthlessness, the discovery of moral decay, and I had
been used and abused by too many femme fatales.
So I made a solo journey across the USA in the winter of 1957
at the age of 22, driving my old chevy through to New York.
It was a lonely trip, and fraught with experiences which have
impacted upon my drastically. I wrote a diary at the time,
and am now planning to base a noirish novel on those
reflections, and hopefully start a film based on this.
Has anyone else here attempted to write a noir novel? If
anyone is interested, I'll post my basic story outline and
you can give me some advice.
Thanks, Hank Quinlan.
