If there are noir movies, are there noir books?

>> No.921838

that would be a horrible example of a "noir movie" OP.

Noir book? Of course...try Jim Thompson's The Killer Inside Me for size.

FUCKING NOIR! I guess this word is the flavor of the month.

I believe you are mistaking the movie for yourself. That would be understandable, being a donkey nut sucker such as yourself.

There's a monologue by Kiefer Sutherland that basically ruins the mystery of the movie in the first five minutes of the theatrical cut. Other than that, it's just and story cuts (the hooker's daughter is cut out, the entire thing about Murdoch's fingerprints).

the literary equivalent of noir is "hard boiled", usually these are detective stories - Dashiell Hammett, Raymond Chandler, James M. Cain, James Ellroy, etc
I use those examples because their works brought to screen are, you guessed it, film-noir

Neuromancer and its sequels by William Gibson are all pretty noir in writing style and tone.
