Happy #Noirvember! This year is my first celebrating with Film Noir Style: The Killer 1940s and I couldn't be happier. The past year has been so rewarding. The book continues to get rave reviews, with readers describing it as everything from "enthralling" to a "luscious deep dive" and many noting the "extensive" research behind it. I loved hearing people say that they didn't want the book to end.
In addition, I'm proud to say I've received endorsements from a couple of my favorite people at Turner Classic Movies (TCM):
"Style is the essential appeal of film noir, and Kimberly Truhler's book is an essential addition to the history of the noir movement. I learned a lot."
Eddie Muller, TCM Host and Film Noir Foundation Founder
"With Film Noir Style, Kimberly Truhler pulls off the tricky challenge of writing to a broad audience. Her well-written book will appeal to both film school graduates and more casual fans who simply love the look of noir, like Rita Hayworth's in Gilda. Truhler's exploration of Hollywood's darkest and sexiest movies of the 1940s has style of its own."
Ben Mankiewicz, TCM Host
Earlier in the year, I also enjoyed doing a 4-part online series to accompany Film Noir Style where I shared even more about the 20 films featured in the book. In case you missed them live, all of the events are available on demand on my Vimeo channel. They are also linked individually below.
My heartfelt thanks to all of you who purchased the book and went on this journey with me - you made the year so special!
Now that we're in the midst of the holiday season, I hope you'll consider Film Noir Style as a gift. You can find it just about everywhere - from big retailers like Amazon to smaller local stores. But the Larry Edmunds Bookshop remains the only place where you can get an autographed and personalized copy. I'll be going to the store soon to sign more books. If interested, you can buy Film Noir Style on their website.
Happy holidays and enjoy #Noirvember!
