A review by booksaremyjam
Crime Novels: American Noir of the 1950s by Charles Willeford, Robert Polito, David Goodis, Jim Thompson, Patricia Highsmith, Chester Himes

4.0

I don't like mystery. I took American Crime Fiction during undergraduate career because I liked the professor who was teaching it, nothing else. This book, however, changed my perspective on the hard-boiled genre completely. It is truly the book to pick up if you're a mystery skeptic.
