Now that's funny.
I totally agree with you about the wink to the reader in
Willeford's work (and that that wink makes him more
postmodernist than modernist), but don't you find that wink
in much of contemporary noir? Perhaps that is the current
stage of noir, where both writer and reader are so aware of
the form that each new book is as much about noir itself as
it is about the specific story it tells?
