I keep thinking about Glamorama by Bret Easton Ellis. This
book gets camoflaged by lots of humor and post-modern glitz,
but the narrative perspective is totally Hammett inspired and
played to the extreme, and the serious downward spiralling
structure into absolute oblivion is straight up Jim Thompson.
Ultimately I think Ellis swings things forward by pinning his
noir onto relativism instead of the more old school Christian
based nihilism.
