Going South: The Hap and Leonard Novels of Joe R. Lansdale
2012
Overview
[...]they do not have careers or even steady jobs. At times, they work in the flower fields of East Texas or the offshore oil rigs in the Gulf of Mexico, do simple construction and home repair jobs, or take on other nonprofessional work that normally does not lend itself to suspense, mystery, and detection. According to their well-considered analysis, film noir often is recognizable by \"moods of claustrophobia, paranoia, despair and nihilism ... designed to unsettle, jar, and disorient the viewer in correlation with the disorientation felt by the noir heroes\" (Place and Peterson, qtd. in Abbott 132). (344) Here Burke places Robicheaux in a black-and-white film from an earlier era of movie memories: \"moonlight ... the color of pewter,\" \"dead cypress,\" \"burning sugarcane,\" \"hazy\" smoky air like \"burnt cinnamon,\" a \"ruffling of moonlight on the bayou's surface,\" and a \"black silhouette\" of a cypress.
