études qui concernent plus d’un auteur. La
deuxième partie est un ensemble d’études
sur des auteurs spécifiques.
Le roman noir (et néo-noir) dit « hardboiled », issu des pages de Black Mask a
d’abord été rendu populaire
par les
maîtres « classiques » comme Carroll
John Daly, Raymond Chandler, Dashiell
Hammett, James M. Cain, Jim Thompson
et compagnie, puis par d’autres comme
James Lee Burke, Robert E. Parker, Elmore
Leonard, James Ellroy. Nous avons inclus
quelques études sur le roman noir autre
qu’américain, notamment le « néo-polar »
français. De nos jours, l’expression
« roman noir » est trop souvent
galvaudée, son sens s’est élargi au point
d’inclure parfois l’ensemble de la
littérature policière. Cette bibliographie
est le complément logique de celle sur le
« film noir ». Elle vise donc un objet
culturel spécifique, parfois difficile à

La ville du roman noir est une ville de mort.
Qui donc y a assassiné l'urbanité ? Voilà la
question à la fois tragique et lyrique, qui hante
tout le "polar". De Hammett à Montalban, en
passant par Irish et Malet, chaque école mène
l'enquête à sa manière. À chaque fois, c'est
tout un imaginaire social qui se révèle, dans
son effort pour maîtriser symboliquement la
réalité désordonnée de la grande ville
industrielle.

pages. [Avec la participation de François
Guérif]
Le 15 janvier 1947, le corps affreusement
mutilé d'Elizabeth Short, belle jeune femme de
22 ans, est découvert sur un terrain vague de
Los Angeles. Ce meurtre, qui donne lieu à la
plus grande chasse à l'homme de l'histoire
criminelle américaine, reste non élucidé à ce
jour. Devenu un mythe sous le nom de Dahlia
Noir, il engendre d'innombrables théories
toutes plus farfelues les unes que les autres, et
fait fantasmer des écrivains tels que James
Ellroy ou le cinéaste Brian De Palma. Pour la
première fois, Stéphane Bourgoin et JeanPierre Deloux analysent toutes les hypothèses
et rétablissent l'authenticité des faits à partir
de documents inédits ou rares et ils dévoilent,
par exemple, l'intégralité du rapport d'autopsie,
gardé secret jusqu'à présent, qui révèle le
monstrueux rituel de l'assassin. Cette véritable
encyclopédie sur le Dahlia Noir, richement
illustrée, présente un texte, des interviews et
une étude de James Ellroy et de Brian De
Palma. Une bibliographie et une filmographie
commentées complètent l'ouvrage.

Hard-Boiled Masculinities, Minneapolis (Minn.), University of

Examining the work of Ernest Hemingway,
Dashiell Hammett, Chester Himes, and William
Faulkner, as well as many lesser-known writers
for the hypermasculine pulp magazines of the
3
1920s and 1930s, Breu illustrates how the
tough male was a product of cultural fantasy,
one that shored up gender and racial
stereotypes as a way of lashing out at the
destabilizing effects of capitalism and social
transformation

Leonard Cassuto's cultural history links the
testosterone-saturated heroes of American
crime stories to the sensitive women of the
nineteenth-century sentimental novel. From
classics like The Big Sleep and The Talented
Mr. Ripley to neglected paperback gems,
Cassuto chronicles the dialogue—centered on
the power of sympathy—between these popular
genres and the sweeping social changes of the
twentieth century, ending with a surprising
connection between today's serial killers and
the domestic fictions of long ago.

works of authors like James Cain, Chester

GLASSMAN, Steve & Maurice J. SULLIVAN
(eds.), Crime Fiction and Film in the
Sunshine State : Florida Noir, Bowling
Green, Bowling Green State University Popular
Press, 1997, 192 pages.
From Elmore Leonard’s professional hoods to
Carl Hiaasen’s amateur grotesques, Florida’s
mystery writers have created a criminal
universe that centers on Miami but stretches
from the Key West of James Hall and Laurence
Shames through the Palm Beach of Lawrence
Sanders and the Orlando of John Lutz to the
panhandle of Geoffrey Norman. This is a world
of sophisticated Latina journalists like Edna
Buchanan’s Britt Montero and retiring
ichthyologists like Randy Wayne White’s Doc
Ford, of Armani-clad socialites like Ed McBain’s
Matthew Hope and leisure-suited cops like
Charles Willeford’s Hope Moseley.For the first
time, a group of literary critics examines how
the center of crime shifted from the City of
Angels to the home of Miami Vice and the
Magic Kingdom and why the country’s
southernmost state has developed such a
concentration of talented mystery writers. In
addition to essays on the origins of the
detective novel in Florida and its contemporary
masters, the book includes a chapter on Florida
film noir from Key Largo to Body Heat and the
first comprehensive bibliography of mysteries
set in the state.
GORRARA, Claire, The Roman Noir in PostWar French Culture: Dark Fictions, Oxford,
Oxford University Press (Oxford Studies in
Modern European Culture), 2003, vi, 136
pages.
Starting with the first truly French roman noir,
Léo Malet's 120 rue de la gare (1943) and
concluding with Maud Tabachnik's feminist
thriller Un été pourri (1994), Gorrara analyses
both texts and film in relation to their specific
historical and cultural context. From the
heritage of the Second World War and France's
wars of decolonisation to the rise of consumer
culture and questions of gender and sexual
equality, the roman noir operates in dialogue
with its times, mediating social change and
transformation with stories of crime,
transgression, and marginality. All the novelists
studied were published initially in popular
collections, such as the Série noire, but they
have been chosen for the innovation of their
work and the exciting ways in which they resist
tired conventions and offer new ways of
representing social reality.

GREENBERG, Martin H., Lee SERVER & Ed
GORMAN (eds.), The Big Book of Noir, New
York, Carroll & Graff, 1998, 396 pages.
Editors Gorman, Server, and Greenberg have
brought together a fine galaxy of contributors
(among them, William F. Nolan, James Sallis,
Mike Ripley, Bill Pronzini, Gary Lovisi, Max Allan
Collins, and many more) to cover the
waterfront in all areas of noir artistry. Even
Stephen King weighs in with a tribute to Jim
Thompson, wonderfully titled "Warning!
Warning! Hitchhikers May Be Escaped
Lunatics!" (Thompson fans will get the joke.)
Charles Willeford, Chester Himes, Patricia
Highsmith, Dashiell Hammett, Mickey Spillane,
Orson Welles, John D. MacDonald, Leigh
Brackett, Billy Wilder, Fritz Lang, Alfred
Hitchcock, Peter Gunn, Joe Friday, Lew Archer,
and Lawrence Block--they're all here, and
more, of course. It's 386 pages deep in noir
references, lore, and opinions. But of special
interest to book collectors are the chapters on
the old publishers and imprints: Lion Books,
Gold Medal, and others. There are
conversations too, among them a rare chat
with cult favorite Peter Rabe (who died in
1990), an interview with the always lively and
urbane Donald E. Westlake, and a talk with
Abraham Polonsky (screenplay writer, director,
and blacklistee). Even kid stuff is not exempt
from the bleak world of noir. Ron Goulart
explores comic book noir, and, as a wellrespected expert in the field of comics and
cartoon strips, leads us back to such forgotten
figures as "Steel Sterling," "Madam Satan," and
"Johnny Dynamite."

Chapter Two traces the development of the
hard-boiled detective’s code of honor through
the works of Dashiell Hammett, Raymond
Chandler, and Mickey Spillane, identifying the
often-paradoxical nature of this code and its
origins in obsessive neurosis. Chapter Three
analyzes the anti-detective fiction of Philip K.
Dick in terms of paranoid psychosis, and the
final chapter returns to the question of
hysteria, taking up the female hard-boiled
detectives of author Marcia Muller.

Noir : Hammett, Cain and Chandler, Athens,
Georgia University Press, 1998, 256 pages.
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 Depressionera 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.

McCANN, Sean, Gumshoe America : HardBoiled Crime Fiction and the Rise and Fall
of the New Deal Liberalism, Durham (N.C.),
Duke University Press, 2000, 360 pages.
Gumshoe America traces the way those problems
surfaced in hard-boiled crime fiction from
the1920s through the 1960s. Beginning by
using a forum on the KKK in the pulp magazine
Black Mask to describe both the economic and
political culture of pulp fiction in the early
twenties, McCann locates the origins of the
hard-boiled crime story in the genre’s conflict
with the racist antiliberalism prominent at the
time. Turning his focus to Dashiell Hammett’s
career, McCann shows how Hammett’s writings
in the late 1920s and early 1930s moved
detective fiction away from its founding fables
of social compact to the cultural alienation
triggered by a burgeoning administrative state.
He then examines how Raymond Chandler’s
fiction, unlike Hammett’s, idealized sentimental
fraternity, echoing the communitarian appeals
of the late New Deal. Two of the first crime
writers to publish original fiction in
paperback—Jim Thompson and Charles
Willeford—are examined next in juxtaposition
to the popularity enjoyed by their contemporaries Mickey Spillane and Ross Macdonald.

MOORE, Lewis D., Cracking the Hard-Boiled
Detective : A Critical History from the
1920s to the Present, Jefferson (NC),
McFarland, 2006, 306 pages.
The hard-boiled private detective is among the
most recognizable characters in popular fiction
since the 1920s-a tough product of a violent
world, in which police forces are inadequate
and people with money can choose private help
when facing threatening circumstances. Though
a relatively recent arrival, the hard-boiled
detective has undergone steady development
and assumed diverse forms. This critical study
analyzes the character of the hard-boiled
detective, from literary antecedents through
the early 21st century. It follows change in the
novels through three main periods: the Early
(roughly 1927–1955), during which the
character was defined by such writers as
Carroll John Daly, Dashiell Hammett and
Raymond Chandler; the Transitional, evident
by 1964 in the works of John D. MacDonald
and Michael Collins, and continuing to around
1977 via Joseph Hansen, Bill Pronzini and
others; and the Modern, since the late 1970s,
during which such writers as Loren D.
Estleman, Liza Cody, Sara Paretsky, Sue
Grafton and many others have expanded the
genre and the detective character. Themes
such as violence, love and sexuality, friendship,
space and place, and work are examined
throughout the text.

examines the work of ten significant
contemporary hard-boiled writers. Chapters on
Robert B. Parker, James Crumley, Loren
Estleman, Sara Paretsky, Sue Grafton, Carl
Hiaasen, Earl Emerson, Robert Crais, James
Lee Burke, and Walter Mosley show how the
new writers have used the hard-boiled story
and the hard-boiled hero to make powerful
statements about reality in the last quarter of
the twentieth century.

This examination of the role of alcohol in hardboiled detective fiction begins with the genre’s
birth, in an era strongly influenced and affected
by Prohibition, and follows both the genre’s
development and its relation to our changing
understanding of and attitudes towards alcohol
and alcoholism. It discusses the works of
Dashiell Hammett, Raymond Chandler, Mickey
Spillane, Robert B. Parker, Lawrence Block,
Marcia Muller, Karen Kijewski and Sue Grafton.
There are bibliographies of both the primary
and critical texts, and an index of authors and

Readers and Pulp Magazines), Philadelphia,
Temple University Press, 2000, 248 pages.
In the 1920s a distinctively American detective
fiction emerged from the pages of pulp
magazines. The "hard-boiled" stories published
in "Black Mask", "Dime Detective", "Detective
Fiction Weekly", and "Clues" featured a new
kind of hero and soon challenged the popularity
of the British mysteries that held readers in
thrall on both sides of the Atlantic. In "HardBoiled" Erin A. Smith examines the culture that
produced and supported this form of detective
story through the 1940s. Relying on pulp
magazine advertising, the memoirs of writers
and publishers, Depression-era studies of adult
reading habits, social and labor history, Smith
offers an innovative account of how these
popular stories were generated and read. She
shows that although the work of pulp fiction
authors like Dashiell Hammett, Raymond
Chandler, and Erle Stanley Gardner have
become "classics" of popular culture, the hardboiled genre was dominated by hack writers
paid by the word, not self-styled artists.

Walton and Jones place the genre within its

reading it as an index of cultural beliefs.
Addressing the ways that Sara Paretsky, Sue
Grafton, Marcia Muller, and others work
through the conventions of the "hard-boiled"
genre made popular by writers such as Dashiell
Hammett, Raymond Chandler, and Mickey
Spillane, the authors show how the male hardboiled tradition has been challenged and
transformed.

HOOPES, Roy, Cain : The Biography of
James M. Cain, Carbondale (IL), Southern

Although Cain was formerly dismissed as
merely a hardboiled writer, his finest
w o r k s — The Postman Always Rings Twice,
Mildred Pierce, and Double Indemnity—are now
considered enduring classics of American
literature.
Roy Hoopes gives as full a picture of the man
and his life as will ever be written. The work
was awarded an “Edgar” by the Mystery
Writers of America.

Cet ouvrage ambitionne de sortir James Ellroy
du ghetto médiatique et de proposer une
lecture critique mettant à jour son écriture.
Charismatique, spectaculaire, drôle, Ellroy
réussit tellement bien à masquer ses écrits
qu'ils sont rarement abordés autrement
qu'avec une approche biographique. Tandis que
les personnages s'affranchissent des lois,
l'écriture se libère des règles et, par ses
entorses faites à la langue, inscrit le texte dans
un délit littéraire qui entraîne le lecteur vers
une expérience subversive.

Gregory examines each of Hammett’s
novels—Red Harvest, The Dain Curse, The
Maltese Falcon, The Glass Key, and The Thin
Man—in terms of their form and theme to make
clear their twofold appeal. She shows that they
succeed not only as popular fiction but as
literature. Through literary analysis she shows
that within each of his works there are
intri_cate literary strategies to be probed and
analyzed symbolically, metaphysically, and
metafictionally to yield the sharp vision we
expect of art.

how Woolrich’s techniques and themes
influenced the noir genre. Twenty-two stories
and 30 films compose the bulk of the study,
though many other additions of films noirs are
also considered because of their relevance to
Woolrich’s plots, themes, and characters. The
introduction includes a biographical sketch of
Woolrich and his relationship to the noir era,
and the book is illustrated with stills from
Woolrich’s noir classics.

Hank Janson [Stephen D. Frances] was a
British writer of pulp paperbacks that were
simply soft-porn tales under the guise of
gangster novels. He wrote a couple of dozen of
them, in a ludicrous "American" style that was
even then seen as hilariously off-key.

In this brief, potent memoir, bestselling
novelist Paretsky (Fire Sale) proves as sharp and
straight shooting as V.I. Warshawski, the
female private investigator she's made famous
in 12 novels. Carefully sketching her conjoined
lives as an artist and activist who cut her
political teeth on the civil rights and feminist
movements of the 1960s, she paints a moving
portrait of herself as an engaged intellectual
looking to make a substantive and lifeaffirming mark on society.

Firmly anchored in literary and psychoanalytic
theory, yet also combining an ironically
essayistic style with scholarly profundity, this
book reinserts the «mystery genre» in its
framework of Western history and tradition.
Exemplifying the arguments by systematic
references to the «American Detective» par
excellence, Robert B. Parker's Spenser, vistas
are opened up to a remarkable oeuvre, while,
at the same time, a whole popular genre is
reevaluated.
