One of the classic images of film noir is the moment where the hero pauses to light a cigarette and exhale slowly as if unaware of the narrative’s demand for action. Now, in this masterly study of the genre from Padraic Killeen, that moment gets its due. Arguing for this state of apparent passivity to be considered as a “dark interval” or glimpse of potentiality, Killeen invokes a pantheon of thinkers to tease out just how this might affect our reading of noir. As he moves easily between his choice of texts, from Cat People through Alphaville, The Long Goodbye, and The Big Lebowski, Killeen demonstrates an extraordinary facility for interrogating established perspectives, while always remaining lucid and focused. This is at once a film lover’s guide to noir and a rigorous application of philosophical thought to one of popular culture’s most enduring genres.

Praise for The Sense of Style&#160;&#8220;[The Sense of Style] is more contemporary and comprehensive than &#8220;The Elements of Style,&#8221; illustrated with comic strips and cartoons and lots of examples of comically bad writing. [Pinker&#8217;s] voice is calm, reasonable, benign, and you can easily see why he&#8217;s one of Harvard&#8217;s most popular lecturers.&#8221;&#8212;The New York Times&#160;&#8220;Pinker's linguistical learning&#8230;is considerable. His knowledge of grammar is extensive and runs deep. He also takes a scarcely hidden delight in exploding tradition. He describes his own temperament as "both logical and rebellious." Few things give him more pleasure than popping the buttons off what he takes to be stuffed shirts.&#8221;&#8212;The Wall Street Journal&#160;&#8220;[W]hile&#160;The Sense of Style&#160;is very much a practical guide to clear and compelling writing, it&#8217;s also far more&#8230;. In the end, Pinker&#8217;s formula for good writing is pretty basic: write clearly, try to follow the rules most of the time&#8212;but only the when they make sense. It&#8217;s neither rocket science nor brain surgery. But the wit and insight and clarity he brings to that simple formula is what makes this book such a gem.&#8221;&#8212;Time.com&#160;&#8220;Erudite and witty&#8230; With its wealth of helpful information and its accessible approach, The Sense of Style is a worthy addition to even the most overburdened shelf of style manuals.&#8221;&#8212;Shelf Awareness&#160;&#8220;Forget Strunk and White&#8217;s rules&#8212;cognitive science is a surer basis for clear and cogent writing, according to this iconoclastic guide from bestselling Harvard psycholinguist Pinker... Every writer can profit from&#8212;and every writer can enjoy&#8212;Pinker&#8217;s analysis of the ways in which skillfully chosen words engage the mind.&#8221;&#8212;Publishers Weekly (starred)&#160;&#8220;Yet another how-to book on writing? Indeed, but this is one of the best to come along in many years, a model of intelligent signposting and syntactical comportment&#8230;Pinker's vade mecum is a worthy addition to any writer&#8217;s library.&#8221;&#8212;Kirkus Reviews&#160;&#8220;In this witty and practical book on the art of writing, Pinker applies insights from the sciences of language and mind to the crafting of clear, elegant prose: #requiredreading.&#8221;&#8212;Publishers Weekly, PW pick Fall 2014 Announcements&#160;&#8220;Who better than a best-selling linguist and cognitive scientist to craft a style guide showing us how to use language more effectively?&#8221;&#8212;Library Journal&#160;&#8220;[A] dense, fascinating analysis of the many ways communication can be stymied by word choice, placement, stress, and the like. [Pinker&#8217;s] explanations run rich and deep, complemented by lists, cartoons, charts on diagramming sentences, and more.&#8221;&#8212;Booklist &#160;&#8220;This book is a graceful and clear smackdown to the notion that English is going to the proverbial dogs. Pinker has written the Strunk & White for a new century while continuing to discourage baseless notions such as that the old slogan should have been &#8216;Winston tastes good AS a cigarette should.&#8217;&#8221;&#8212;John McWhorter, author of Our Magnificent Bastard Tongue and The Power of Babel&#160;&#8220;Great stuff! Only Steven Pinker could have written this marvelous book, and thank heaven he has. &#8216;Good writing can flip the way the world is perceived,&#8217; he writes, and The Sense of Style will flip the way you think about good writing. Pinker&#8217;s curiosity and delight illuminate every page, and when he says style can make the world a better place, we believe him.&#8221;&#160;&#8212;Patricia T. O&#8217;Conner, author of Woe Is I and, with Stewart Kellerman, Origins of the Specious&#160;
