If my memory serves me well, Mr. Duncan was for a while part
of R-A discussions some long time ago....I think a lot of his
ideas about roots of noir and some other views on noir itself
are coming from our discussions of that time and from our
group. At least -if what I remember is correct- he knows
where *real * noir aficionados gather.

And so he did (does). Here's what he says about R-A in the
Resources section at the back of his book:
"Highly recommended Hard-Boiled/Noir newsgroup monitored by
William Denton. Always interesting. Always controversial.
Full of writers, editors, agents and readers who are all fans
of the genre."
He also has a short bibliography (with brief comments) of
reference books, most of which have been named here in recent
weeks. One that Duncan mentions which I don't recall coming
up here recently is Gorman, Server, & Greenburg's Big
Book of Noir. That book helped me realize that the stories I
liked were a genre, and became a favourite reference as I
scoured the used bookstores and the Children's Hospital
booksale.
