I've been devouring mysteries lately, but not really noir. Although, I'd like to.

Would you recommend a good place to start?
And no, Finch did not disappoint at all. Read even better the second time through.
it a good way. It was heavy reading, kinda like Gene Wolfe. How does Finch compare?
It is like that in form and basic structure, but with quite a few analogies to things as "heavy" as the American occupation in Iraq (notice how the quote I gave matches closely to what happened at that prison there?)
VanderMeer does a good job of getting his point across without being preachy (or heavy-handed).
This sounds like it does not disappoint.
I look forward to reading your interview.
