To me, it's not so much about the evil-but-beautiful women
who lead men to doom, but people overall. A good writer can
make a reader relate to the protagonist regardless of gender,
and Goodis definitely does that for me (ok, there, I brought
myself back to the Goodis topic of the thread LOL).
I agree totally, Amy. When you get down to twisted
psychology, which is the most interesting part of noir in my
opinion, it can apply equally to men or women. When I read a
novel with a male protagonist, I automatically put myself
into his place, if I'm caught up at all. Do you do that? I
wonder if male readers put themselves into the place of
female protagonists? Anybody? I would think so. Vicki
