French And American Noir Dark Crossings 1st Table of contents:

• Part I: Origins and Definitions

  • Chapters in this part would likely explore the historical and literary roots of noir in both France and America, defining the genre and its characteristics in each context.

• Part II: Transatlantic Exchanges

  • This section would delve into the specific ways French and American noir influenced each other. It would likely include discussions of:

    • American writers translated and published in France (e.g., James Hadley Chase, David Goodis, Cornell Woolrich).

    • French authors who wrote in a noir style (e.g., Léo Malet, Auguste Le Breton).

    • The influence of French surrealism and existentialism on noir.

    • The migration of noir themes and tropes across the Atlantic.

• Part III: The Franco-French Lineage

  • This is a key part of the book's argument. Chapters here would focus on the unique elements of French noir that are not simply a copy of the American model. This could include:

    • The French roman noir and its literary heritage.

    • The role of the French underworld and criminal culture.

    • The specific political and social contexts that shaped French noir.

• Part IV: Case Studies

  • This section would likely include detailed analyses of specific novels, films, and authors from both traditions, demonstrating the "dark crossings" between them. Possible topics could include:

    • The Postman Always Rings Twice (Cain) and its French adaptations.

    • A comparative study of works by American and French authors (e.g., James M. Cain and Jean-Patrick Manchette).

    • An analysis of specific film noirs from both countries.
