The Best American Noir of the Century

Posted by Notcot on May 6, 2012 in Noir
The Best American Noir of the Century

In his introduction to the The Best American Noir of the Century, James Ellroy writes, “noir is the most scrutinised offshoot of the hard-boiled school of fiction. It’s the long drop off the short pier and the wrong man and the wrong woman in perfect misalliance. It’s the nightmare of flawed souls with big dreams and the precise how and why of the all-time sure thing that goes bad.” Offering the best examples of literary sure things gone bad, this collection ensures that nowhere else can readers find a darker, more thorough distillation of American noir fiction. James Ellroy and Otto Penzler, series editor of the annual The Best American Mystery Stories, mined one hundred years of writing — 1910-2010 — to find this treasure trove of thirty-nine stories. From noir’s twenties-era infancy come gems like James M. Cain’s “Pastorale,” and its post-war heyday boasts giants like Mickey Spillane and Evan Hunter. Packing an undeniable punch, diverse contemporary incarnations include Elmore Leonard, Dennis Lehane, Patricia Highsmith and William Gay, with many page-turners appearing in the last decade.In his introduction to the The Best American Noir of the Century, James Ellroy writes, “noir is the most scrutinised offshoot of the hard-boiled school of fiction.

Does the job, 17 Jan 2010

This review is from: SanDisk Secure Digital Card (SDHC) CLASS 4 – 4GB

It’s difficult to say a lot about a memory card like this. Either it does the job or it doesn’t – I have several of this particular type, and it does. Why several? Well both my wife and I have digital cameras and take lots of pictures especially when away, and neither of us likes the idea of putting all our eggs in one basket. So rather than have 8GB cards we each take two 4GB and switch them part way through the trip. That way if the worst does happen we haven’t lost all the data and will have at least some photographs. It hasn’t happened yet, but the peace of mind is good.

This review is from: SanDisk Secure Digital Card (SDHC) CLASS 4 – 4GB

I have just used this disc on my holiday, it has a white label not blue and I now cannot download the pictures using my card reader. It comes up with F:\ is not accessible. The request could not be performed because of an I/O dem error what ever that is. So not happy with this product

Poor Packaging, 22 Jan 2010
By 
Adrian F (Bingley, Yorkshire. UK) – See all my reviews

This review is from: SanDisk Secure Digital Card (SDHC) CLASS 4 – 4GB

The SD card arrived in 3 days in a padded envelope. The card was in a plastic case but not attached to any card. It was as though it had been opened. The quality of the card is fine and works fine. My moan is just about the delivery presentation.
