of the pulps), Miriam Allen DeFord (ditto, I think, for her),
Anthony Boucher, and no doubt a slew I'm foolishly letting
slip by...though you did specify science fiction, which
leaves out Woolrich as far as I know, but not the other folk
(even if Bloch's sf may've been the least of his talents, he
did some excellent work in that field).
******** And didn't Cornell write some nonhardboiled high
society type mysteries a long time ago, like in the teens or
early 20's? I think I recall seeing them described for sale
on that auction site that handled the Lackritz
collection.
I should probably had said "non-noir", since I'm not cer-
tain if Cornell is hardboiled or not. I thought I MARRIED A
DEAD MAN was noir but not hardboiled.
