I like Robert Stone quite a bit (I'm also a couple behind on
him, never could get into boat stories), but I've never
really thought of him as noir. However, I can see how the
argument could be made, although I would probably choose Dog
Soldiers (drug deal gone wrong) or A Hall of Mirrors
(assassination) before Children of the Light, also. I guess
Bowman was addressing the feeling of gloom and doom that
hangs over that book, or he just has something about Mexico
as a setting.
But my real question is, has anyone read the Charles Bowden
book, Blood Orchid, or the peripherally mentioned Chimney
Rock by Charlie Smith? Are they any good? I don't know these
two.
