I read Stansberry's Noir Manifesto. I agreed with about half
of it. Some of his comments were just totally beyond me. I
didn't see the supernatural as a significant element in Poe's
"Murder in the Rue Morgue" or "The Death of Marie
Roget".
I was also skeptical about the idea of breaking away from the
shackles of the genre. That kind of talk always makes me
nervous. Literature has been stuck on one plot for thousands
of years, the struggle of man to prevail, and near as I can
tell, it's still a vital and viable story.
Done the deed here in the hardboiled city of San Diego. Long
trip home tomorrow.
