Pale Perfection (Hollywood Noir)

-

 


A number of years ago, a dear friend of mine wrote a story about a Hollywood set designer who could "build anything." The story, and its central conceit, stuck with me. 

Recently, I reread Raymond Chandler's The Little Sister. It's a later work and draws on the author's time working as a screenwriter  in Tinseltown. 

Those two influences more-or-less coalesced and gave rise to my latest, Pale Perfection which can be found on Topiary Stories/Evergreen Fiction.

I'm always fascinated and surprised by how disparate events, experiences etc. can come together and percolate to provide impetus for a story.

  Jorge Luis Borges is considered one of the greatest and most influential writers of the twentieth-century. Yet he never wrote a novel. His reputation is based on a canon of elegant, intellectually adventurous and highly provocative short stories. Borges is famously quoted as stating: “Writing long books is a laborious and impoverishing act of foolishness – expanding in five hundred pages an idea that could perfectly be explained in a few minutes. A better procedure is to pretend those books already exist …” That idea, along with the strange-but-true saga of fake economic expert Ron Vara , inspired the story that follows. (Recall that a White House economic advisor was discovered to have been citing a fictional  authority whose name turned out to be simply an anagram for his own).   Author of the Revolution by James C.

“The Last Pitch” is a noir tale of mine set during the Great Depression. A mysterious man follows a minor league baseball team around Central New York and Pennsylvania with more than just a love for the game as motivation. The piece can be found on Topiary Stories/Evergreen Short Fiction . Topiary Stories is edited by Bill Tope and is most definitely worth a look; there’s some wonderful material there. Bill is himself a fabulous writer. His work may be found on Freedom Fiction Journal as well as in numerous other places on the web.
