“To me, noir is to literature what the blues is to music, and I think people can misunderstand noir the way the blues gets misunderstood – that all the subject matter is dark, sad, and depressing. But noir, to me, like the blues, is about survival, especially in the face of harsh realities, and that’s what I love about it.”
