There has to be something at the end of the tunnel.JD Cowanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03548340507655076198noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4520528486728008071.post-5194734766519644972020-05-28T16:53:05.055-04:002020-05-28T16:53:05.055-04:00This sounds WAY better than Kids.

As the decades go on the genre has tendency to glorify the debauched instead of lamenting it. It's a reason I'm not big on most neo noir.JD Cowanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03548340507655076198noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4520528486728008071.post-50223312403024469362020-05-28T15:54:17.583-04:002020-05-28T15:54:17.583-04:00I've liked the little noir I've read/watch...I've liked the little noir I've read/watched. If you know the "A Series of Unfortunate Events" children's series that author has a fantastic short children's noir series written as Lemony Snicket, "All the Wrong Questions", that I really loved. And Hammett is always worth the time. I may give this a shot.Bellomyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13772021462887676959noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4520528486728008071.post-38981830181382107442020-05-28T15:21:21.527-04:002020-05-28T15:21:21.527-04:00By the way, have you heard the new Midnight song? ...By the way, have you heard the new Midnight song?

There is no particular reason for this, but I guess I have a prejudice against it being boring - just grim things happening to grim people. But I have to say, this sounds interesting. I like the trope of a bad man getting a second chance until his sinful past catches up to him. <br /><br />Would you recommend reading some widely known noir-classics like Chandler or Ellroy? Their works have been translated to finnish, which I prefer to read in (I can read well in english but I think I should start from translations).
