Fragments of Noir

If the good lord made a mistake in us people it was making us want to live when we've got the least excuse for it.

Jim Thompson

The Killer Inside Me

1952

fragments of noir: 'It was one of those hot dry Santa Annas that come down thru the mountain passes and curl your hair and make your nerves jump and your skin itch. On nights like that every booze party ends in a fight. Meek little wives feel the edge of the carving knife and study their husbands' necks. Anything can happen. You can even get a full glass of beer at a cocktail lounge. ............ Red Wind- Raymond Chandler
