In the American Roman Noir, William Marling reads classic
hard-boiled fiction and film in the contexts of narrative theories
and American social and cultural history. His search for the
origins of the dark narratives that emerged during the 1920s and
1930s leads to a sweeping critique of Jazz-Age and Depression-era
culture, integrating economic history, biography, consumer product
design, narrative analysis, and film scholarship. Taking a closer
look at noir classics by Dashiell Hammett, James M. Cain, and
Raymond Chandler, Marling reads these narratives first as novels,
then as films, showing how they helped Americans adapt for better
or worse -- to a society driven by economic and technological
forces beyond their control.
