About The Panel
Come join authors Reed Farrel Coleman and Tim McLoughlin for a discussion/Q&A exploring how noir is still relevant to the world. Why are noir works still being produced? What does noir say about the complexities of the human experience? How has noir been distorted over the years? Also, we'll be exploring the big question: is 'noir', in all of it's iterations (pulp, crime novel), ultimately a genre or a style? See you there!
