Jim Doherty is right about the lively discussion we had on
the noir panel, with a lot of give and take with the
audience.
At the Cape Fear Crime Festival, I had the pleasure of
moderating a different noir panel which included Stuart
Kaminsky, Richard Helms and Cornelius Lahane.
We had an audience of interestested but not quite a rabid
noir fans as at bouchercon.
Each panel was different but each was enjoyable and
informative.
My thanks to Jim for calling attention to this.
The great thing about noir and hardboiled, I think, is that
each reader and each writer has his own take on it.
It's almost like politics and religion only with more diverse
opinions.
But as far as I know, friendships are not lost over the
noir/hardboiled discussions. They are sometimes solidified by
the recognition that we are each entitled to look at it in a
different way, no matter how adamantly we argue our
point.
