I have not read "Farewell Horizontal" but I recall elements
of noir in what I have read by K.W. Jeter--long ago though
that was.
Recently I heard of a Japanese SF/Detective story that sounds
very interesting. It is the title story in a four story
collection MURDER IN BALLOON TOWN By Yumi Matsuo. I gather
from the commentary that it must take place in a cartoon
world, ala Roger Rabbitt.
Although I can find commentary on the collection and
interviews with the author, I haven't found a specific
reference to an edition in English. Is anyone familiar with
this story?

remembered a book I had read years ago, but had never
considered in the style of Noir. The name is "Farewell
Horizontal" and it is by K. W. Jeter.
