Sarah Weinman has a great piece on the craft of noir author Dorothy B. Hughes in the Los Angeles Review of Books, including her last book, The Expendable Man.
“A sense of tragedy sets in as you read The Expendable Man in 2012: so much has changed, but so many still cling, stubbornly, to the awful image of How Things Used to Be.”
Today, at the Los Angeles Review of Books:
Kate Elswit on Shell Shock Cinema — Afterimages of Trauma
Sarah Weinman on Dorothy B. Hughes — The Expendable Man, In a Lonely Place and The Davidian Report
