I've been reading stories lately that are set among African
refugees. Not sure that it applies to what I've read but it
set me wondering about dark and sinister and even
non-transcendent stories set in locals without benefit of the
rule of law. Without the formality of a law to break, without
the technicality of a crime, could such stories be considered
noir? The question occurred to me again when the topic of the
spy genre came up, with its extra-legal activities. I
appreciate your response, though it doesn't quite satisfy my
question. Meantime, I try not to take anything too
seriously.
Thanks, Kerry
