DAYLIGHT NOIR
These are the right photographs for "The Great Wrong Place," Los Angeles.
-Ed Ruscha
a supremely evocative catalogue of haunted places... these streets and buildings we have erected in order to give order to our solitudes.
-Jonathan Lethem
Daylight Noir is a tour of Marlowe's Los Angeles at high noon...[the] aura is largely on loan from Chandler. He's like a noir Midas: every L.A. address mentioned in his stories turns to black...[giving] the feeling that one is at the terminal end of the continent, renting a short-term apartment in last-chance city...These are places more ephemeral than they first appear.
-The New Yorker
The book is magical...a section of tile-roofed bungalow glimpsed between branches, the Art Deco façade of an old hotel seen against a sun-white sky, a flight of wooden steps ascending toward palm trees...these buildings are haunting, and haunted. Ms. Corman captures the essence of Chandler that still hovers throughout L.A.
-The Wall Street Journal
ROMANTICISM
Nominated for The Pushcart Prize
These verses, by turns wistful, severe, wry, generous, bitter, resolute, and compassionate, are, alongside Corman's luminous photographs, a pleasure to read.
-Lydia Davis
“a feat of imagination”
-Vanity Fair
