Perfect Misalliance


           Noir "indicts the other subgenres of the hard-boiled school as sissified, and canonizes the inherent human urge towards self destruction."
                                                ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
         " 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."

James Ellroy
from introduction to
Best American Noir of the Century
2010
