When I recently gave my list of all-time favorite noir novels, I noted to myself that only 5 of the 10 were currently in print in the U.S. I am pleased to report that that number has just risen to 6 with the NYRB Classics reissue of William Lindsay Gresham's 1946 masterpiece of carny noir, Nightmare Alley. Buy it!
