Kerry,
Re your comment below:
"We don't like po-mo here, though there's no reason a story
cannot be po-mo and noir at the same time, so far as I can
tell."
My curiosity is overcoming my reluctance to display my
ignorance. What, exactly, is "po-mo?"
And, as for "pop-culture references," which you described as
po-mo, how is a reference to, say a rock-n-roll song the
protagonist grew up with in a contemporary hard-boiled/noir
story, different from, say, the Continental Op's commentary
on M.P. Shiel's THE LORD OF THE SEA in "The Gutting of
Couffignal," or Ed McBain's references to movies like THE
QUIET MAN or TV shows like DRAGNET in the early 87th Precinct
novels?
