I read Michael Robison's article again.
The truth is that Miker never implied that "all noir is
hardboiled, but all hard boiled is not noir."
But his survery got me thinking, based on assimilation of the
facts of the novels he mentioned.
Maybe all noir is *not* hardboiled any more than all
hardboiled is noir.
There is nothing tough about *They Shoot Horses, Don't They"
unless you consider the hard interior of some of the
characters.
Hmmm. It's worth another read and further thinking.
