The Last Avant-Garde: The Making of the New York… af David Lehman
Lehman provides a fascinating introduction to and analysis of this group of poets and the artistic community that they lived in. It's an absorbing read, rich in detail and thoughtful exploration. It's also an excellent reference work for the numerous mentions of the creative pieces (music, art, books, poems) that inspired these poets.
A complete, well edited anthology. Contains the well known and expected, but the minor or lesser known works are of excellent quality and worth remembering.
It's always worth reading a Best American series book, his one no exception.
The Mysterious Romance of Murder: Crime, Detection, and the Spirit of Noir by David Lehman is a 2022 Cornell University Press publication.
Well, I’m not sure how I feel about this book. It was not what I was expecting, for starters. Once I settled in to read it, I immediately struggled with the author’s presentation- but I thought it was just an introduction of sorts- and felt it was still on track with my expectations.
But then the book became hyper-focused on noir- not all crime or detection, just the ‘spirit of noir’.
Despite the confusion, I continued because I do like noir. I appreciated the author’s obvious respect for noir, and agree that it is, perhaps unlike many other forms of crime fiction, an actual art form. Poetry noir, though? Um- okay. I'm 'poetry impaired' to begin with, so that's a fusion I’m not fully comprehending.
But, if you are a huge fan of noir films, and are looking for a unique study of noir authors, films, the dialogue and vernacular specific to noir fiction, then this book might be what you are looking for.
Unfortunately, for me, personally, the author’s presentation, organization, and execution didn’t come together for me. I’m sure it’s one of those times when I'm the one at fault, rather than the author or the book. I think I got off on the wrong foot with this book and never fully recovered from it.
Overall, this book is going to work for those who know up front what they are in for, and for those who wish to study noir films from a dialogue/ poetry/ speech angle, and not so much from a psychological point of view, as the title suggests.
