This one dealt with some racial issues and was written in the early fifties so I was worried I was in store for some good ole' fashioned awkwardness but for the most part Macdonald did a good job of not being too preachy but unfortunately his knowledge and ideas about African American's is dicey at best.

By the 1960s he had established himself as a distinct voice in the hardboiled genre. In his Lew Archer series, he conveys the complexity of his characters and settings primarily by the use of metaphors. In his 1966 novel Black Money the device performs three functions. In the case of minor characters, the author uses metaphors to comment on Californian society.

It’s a provocative assignment, to be sure, and great fun to think about. The most vivid example that comes to mind is Tom Wolfe’s depiction of the system as a gigantic hungry beast, in The Bonfire of the Vanities.1 His narrative puts us at one juncture in the company of Larry Kramer, Assistant District Attorney in the Bronx, watching morosely as the vans that carry pretrial detainees from jail to the courthouse where Kramer practices discharge their cargo into the bowels of the building for morning court dates.

  • Literary Experimentation in the Detective Story Genre
    FROM POE TO AUSTER: LITERARY EXPERIMENTATION IN THE DETECTIVE STORY GENRE A Dissertation Submitted to The Temple University Graduate Board in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY by Kelly C. Connelly May, 2009 ABSTRACT Two dominating lines of criticism regarding the detective novel have perpetuated the misconception that detective fiction before the 1960s was a static and monolithic form unworthy of critical study. First, critics of the traditional detective story have argued that the formulaic nature of the genre is antithetical to innovation and leaves no room for creative exploration. Second, critics of the postmodern detective novel have argued that the first literary experiments with the genre began only with post-World War II authors such as Umberto Eco, Italo Calvino, and Paul Auster. What both sets of critics fail to acknowledge is that the detective fiction genre always has been the locus of a dialectic between formulaic plotting and literary experimentation. In this dissertation, I will examine how each generation of detective story authors has engaged in literary innovation to refresh and renew what has been mistakenly labeled as a sterile and static popular genre. ii TABLE OF CONTENTS ABSTRACT …………………………………………………………………………………………………………………… ii TABLE OF CONTENTS……………………………………………………………………………………………… iii INTRODUCTION ………………………………………………………………………………………………………… vi The “Static” and “Sterile” Detective Story …………… vii The Postmodern as Apotheosis of Experimentation ……………………………………………………………………… x The
