Films like Double Indemnity, Ace in the Hole, and Kiss Me Deadly alongside novels by Dashiel Hammett and Raymond Chandler provide rich examples for the first half of the study. The second islargely devoted to works less commonly understood in relation to the hard-boiled and noir canon. Examinations of the conspiracy films from the Seventies and Eighties-like Klute and The Parallax View-novels by Thomas Pynchon, Chester Himes and William Gibson reveal the persistence and evolution of these authenticity effects across the second half of the American twentieth century. 606 $aDetective and mystery stories, American$xHistory and criticism 606 $aNoir fiction, American$xHistory and criticism 606 $aFilm noir$zUnited States$xHistory and criticism 606 $aNational characteristics, American, in literature 606 $aMasculinity in literature 615 0$aDetective and mystery stories, American$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aNoir fiction, American$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aFilm noir$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aNational characteristics, American, in literature. 615 0$aMasculinity in literature. 676 $a813/.087209 700 $aDussere$b Erik$f1968-$01569657 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910790532203321 996 $aAmerica is elsewhere$93842692 997 $aUNINA
