I suppose there will be some serious argument about
JDM-as-noir, and I can't comment on Bowman's method of
perusal. But I will say that I've read one Kem Nunn -- The
Dogs of Winter -- and can highly recommend it for all of the
reasons and definitions given in this newsgroup. Surfer noir
is exactly the right description. Thickly written, almost
pretending to "Litratchure," but fine storytelling, and
bleak, bleak ambiance.
