A novel that is specifically written to pay homage to or imitate the style of 1940s-1950s film noir. While many of the classic film noir movies of the period were themselves based on novels written in the noir style, these books would not be considered true Novel Noir because they would have been considered standard mystery/crime works in their own time. In other words, they weren't written with the tropes of film noir as we now know it in mind.
A key characteristic of Novel Noir is that it is consciously intended to emulate the gritty, shadowy black and white atmosphere of the classical Noir period. This is what sets the genre apart from works of contemporary mystery. The cutoff date for a true novel noir would likely be any time after the end of the classical American Noir era (generally accepted as the end of the 1950s).
A Novel Noir aims to recreate as closely as possible the elements of classic film noir. While certain aspects of a film can't be perfectly replicated in written form, novel noir works are characterized by vivid descriptions and deep immersion in the time period (often the 1930s, 1940s, or 1950s). Other characteristics are essentially the same as film noir: private eyes, morally gray scenarios and characters, crooked cops and shady gangsters, and of course, the mysterious and vexing femme fatale.
While film noir has faded in popularity since the end of the 1950s, authors continue to keep the genre alive by writing excellent works of novel noir.
Novell is a quiet yet goofy friend to be with! he might seem shy and quiet but once you get to know him he’s the life of the party! He’s funny, and can be a quite a nerd when it comes to stuff but overall he’s a one of a kind.
Positive response based on the mishearing of the lyric "Life is a Novel" in the Ensemble Stars!! song Shukufuku no Library (lit. "Library of Blessings") by Valkyrie. The use first arose from certain internet users not realising the phrase featured an article and thus assuming the phrase featured a play on words, with the word "novel" being able to play both the role of a noun (in the sense of book) and that of an adjective (in the sense of new). It is usually preceeded by the word "godbless" (mirroring the song, where the single word is sung before the phrase in question), but is suitable for any kind of conversation.
A: "godbless"
B: "life is novel, just like the hit song shukufuku no library by valkyrie ensemble stars"
P: "WEVE BEEN TALKING ABOUT GAY SEX FOR 2HOURS AND 28 MINUTES"
D: "life is novel"
