Suspects by David Thomson
Requirements: ePUB or MOBI Reader, 1.2MB
Overview: Noah Cross, Norma Desmond, Norman Bates, Harry Lime these are a few of nearly 100 names that inhabit the mind of the narrator as he starts to compose short biographies of some of the most famous characters in the history of film noir. He sketches in whole lives, lives as intense as the dreams put up on the screen. The book begins to become a novel when the characters start to meet each other outside their respective films as if they were real people with needs and passions. The names and faces are familiar to us Jake Gittes from Chinatown, Laura Hunt and Waldo Lydecker from Laura, Rick and Ilsa from Casablanca—but is it true that Noah Cross and Norma Desmond were lovers in the 1920s, that she and Joe Gillis had a son who grew up to be Julian Kay in American Gigolo? The narrator is not merely the author, he has a mission to carry out a lost family link to find, a thread to pull so that nearly all these disparate characters come together to form a kind of society.
Genre: General Fiction, Film, Noir
