I'm personally convinced that Chandler is noir and did noir
in part of his writing, but he did not know it.... His noir
is of course heavily loaded with hard-boiled attitude.
Do you consider "Pop. 1280" as a farce?
*********** The belief that Chandler is noir is strongly
held, so you don't need to be shy about it. I've got a book
by William Marling (I think he might have been a rara-avis
member in the past) called AMERICAN NOIR: HAMMETT, CAIN, AND
CHANDLER.
I haven't read POP. 1280, so I can't weigh in on it as farce,
but all genres are open to farce. In the noir category,
Vian's I SPIT ON YOUR GRAVE and Hallas's YOU PLAY THE BLACK
AND THE RED COMES UP have been suggested as parodies or
farces.
Oh. I hope I got your first name spelled right. I didn't see
it spelled out in the post.
