ABOUT THIS SESSION

 

Hardboiled and noir are often grouped together, but they are far from the same. In this session, panelists explore the defining characteristics of each style, discuss where their own work fits within these traditions, and share techniques for creating morally complex characters, gritty settings, and unforgettable crime stories.
