Murdering Masculinities Fantasies of Gender and Violence in the American Crime Novel

Zitat

"Sumptuous, elegant, nuanced, and accessible, Greg Forter helps us to remember what language can do. But Forter minces more than words in Murdering Masculinities. He offers a transformative reading of American crime fiction, arguing that it is not to high modernism that we should look for the reinvention of gender, but rather to authors like James Cain, Chester Himes, Dashiell Hammett, Jim Thompson, and in particular William Faulkner." --Kaja Silverman
