Mark T. Conard, assistant professor of philosophy at Marymount Manhattan College in New York City, is the editor of many books, including The Philosophy of Neo-Noir and The Philosophy of Martin Scorsese.
A fascinating, readable, and provocative book.... Highly recommended. - Choice ""Dense and intriguing, the book suggests noir is best perceived as a slightly warped mirror held up to contemporary society."" - Publishers Weekly ""Explores the philosophical underpinnings of movies from the classical noir period and... suggests that films aren't noir merely because they share a consistent tone, or certain visual conventions, with the likes of The Maltese Falcon, The Postman Always Rings Twice, and Double Indemnity."" - Boston Globe ""An intellectually seductive, hardboiled romp through a world of moral murkiness, femme fatales, and desperately lonely protagonists."" - Eric Bronson, editor of Baseball and Philosophy
