Noir Novel: Three American Classics

Course | Available (Membership Required)

Explore the noir novel through Dashiell
Hammett’s The Maltese Falcon, Raymond
Chandler’s The Big Sleep, and Sara Paretsky’s
Indemnity Only. From hardboiled detectives
navigating gritty cityscapes to Paretsky’s
feminist reimagining of the genre, this course
traces the evolution of noir fiction. Film clips
from classic adaptations will highlight the
genre’s impact on both literature and cinema.
