I noticed at the bookstore this morning a literary journal
named Gettysburg Review with this blurb on the cover: "Noir
issue." Everybody's getting in on the act.
Here's what the journal's website says about this
issue:
<< The Noir Isssue (Summer 2002) showcases paintings by
John Hull, essays by Paula K. Speck and Robert Rawdon Wilson,
stories by Peter Gordon, John Keyes, and Solon Timothy
Woodward, and poems by Richard Lyons, Christopher Howell, and
Albert Goldbarth, as well as outstanding work by many
others.

There are also selections from the issue online.
