Con, I think this idea is very interesting with respect to
noir, and has a lot of merit. If everyone, including readers,
knew what to expect in noir, it might ruin the surprising
irony that is one of the signatures of the genre. (This also
helps justify the ongoing debate and complete disagreement
that is one of the great signatures of Rara-Avis and makes
this my favorite list, by far.)
Best, Bruce
