Smile because it would be quite funny and absurd, given the chiasm between
crime writers and what nobel ırequirementsı seem to be (in that straightı
literary/academic world context)...sneer because, if one of them got it, I
would sneer at his acceptance of it, since I wantı noir writers to be out
of the boxı...whisful thinking probably...itıs like seing one of your rebel
rock idolsı all shoock up at the despicable and ridiculous rock Hall of
Fame...
Anyway...none of it is important anyway...but the books are...
