I recently read Nick Harkaway’s exciting novel Titanium Noir. The blurb above is a better recommendation for the book than any review that I could ever post. If you haven’t read Harkaway, it’s not a bad place to start. After reading the book I was reminded of a marvelous infographic about Noir films that I ran across a few years ago. Designer Melanie Patrick and writer Adam Frost have, at the behest of the British Film Institute, come up with a handy infographic (click here to view it in a larger format) that explains and visualizes the particulars of the “shadowy world of one of classic Hollywood’s most beloved subgenres.”
