I think that MacBeth is a better candidate for best
Shakespearean noir: plenty of crimes, an atmosphere of
inescapable doom and one of the nastiest femme fatales in the
business.
But seriously folks it seems to me we are making the term
noir so elastic that it really doesn't have any meaning.
Doestoevski, Kerouac, Steinbeck, Henry Miller (?!) are
supposed to be noir or proto-noir authors? Why not throw in
A. A. Milne, Arthur Miller and Nabokov for good
measure?
