********** Great post, Vince. I got trigger happy and cut
your great line about noir being a baroque pop version of
literary naturalism. Loved it.
I've read several of Gibson's novels and a collection of
stories. Neuromancer was the first I read and I probably
would have been best off stopping after that one. I liked
Neuromancer even if I couldn't tell what the hell happened at
the end, and it definitely had strong noir tendencies, not
just in hardluck characters. A lot of the scenes are
noir-movie styled.
