What struck me about the Manifesto, Domenic, was your
recognition that fiction necessarily makes political
statements, and perhaps most dangerously and disingenuously
so the fiction that professes to be mere entertainment.
Can we assume that the Noir Manifesto is more than a call for
authors in the genre to move beyond the conventions, and is a
political call to literary arms?
If I'm putting words into your mouth, by all means spit 'em
out.
Best, Kerry
