Nah, I think you nailed it on the head. It's like Bowman just
picked five books at random, and slapped them together,
claiming it was an article. And the editor fell for it.
While the individual comments are interesting, the whole
thing together means nothing. It's not an overview; it just
thumbnails of five books, and no real attempt to link them
together. Current noir? Most of those books are at least ten
years old.
