Description
A new edition of Suspects brings together nearly a hundred names from film noir in a unique and fascinating exploration of Hollywood storytelling. The narrator sets out to compose short biographies, sketching in whole lives as intense as the dreams put up on screen. As he writes, these characters start to meet each other outside the films, forming a kind of society. This book is both a commentary on film noir and a dazzlingly original work of fiction, full of America, an old man's dread of loss and failure, and a love and rage for movies that makes its world feel real and touching.
