Too late Jack! When we said that hardboil and noir struck a
chord with war weary vets who'd become disillusioned with
civilization's institutions failure to prevent the horrors of
modern technological warfare, wasn't religion one of those
institutions? I know when I describe noir as
non-transcendent, I mean in religious sense, and other ways.
I know you don't agree with me on that, but it strikes me as
something akin to religious bigotry if I am no longer allowed
to make my case on this list.
And I know we've talked about power and its corruption as a
major theme in hardboil and noir. Seriously, how could we
avoid it? If that ain't politics, then neither is this
topic.
Kerry, who's learning that just because we read sex and
violence doesn't make us tough guys.
