Fragments of Noir

Thursday, 16 December 2021

They were never young and will never be old. They have no beauty, no charm, no style. They don't have to please anybody. They are safe.

Raymond Chandler

The Little Sister
1949

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
