Fragments of Noir

Life has but one true charm ; the charm of the game. But what if we're indifferent to whether we win or we lose ?

Charles Baudelaire

George Bellows

1909

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
