Fallen Angels: Six Noir Tales Told for Television

Rating:
Summary: A good book for James Ellroy fans
Review: This would make a useful text for classes centering on film/literature: six short stories by noir writers are juxtaposed with the shooting scripts for film adaptations commissioned by Showtime cable TV. The book holds particular value for James Ellroy fans: Ellroy supplies the introduction, and his short story, "Since I Don't Have You," is among the adaptations. Stills from the various episodes of the cable series, "Fallen Angels" are also incorporated in the book. Worth a look for fans of noir and especially for the self-dubbed Demon Dog of American Crime Fiction.
