Scott Fitzgerald inspired masterwork Struggled to build some interest in an Adrian McKinty novel, got bogged down. Jan 08, Greg rated it really liked it Shelves: 20th-century , reviewed , midth-century-american-crime , hard-boiled-private-eye. This one, "The Ivory Grin," takes place in a small California town. Looking for More Great Reads? Also in Lew Archer Series. In his search for the killer, Howard Cross digs deep into the Los Angeles underworld, finding along the way a beautiful, lost adolescent mourning a dead lover, a suitcase hidden under an aging sadist's bed, and a slovenly gentleman with an ice pick in his neck. Just when you think you know what'll happen next, MacDonald dispels everything you thought you knew. Then Archer realizes this isn't about the jewelry at all, but perhaps something big Una is hiding. Was going to write something akin to what Wiki entered on Ross Macdonald's page, but why bother. Pay using card ending in. Jun 05, Jon rated it really liked it. May 14, Evgeny rated it really liked it Shelves: crime-and-mystery. Reviewed by jonesli jonesli. It didn't take me long to recall that I had read this book but heh, it's Ross Macdonald. I'm sick, old, exhausted, bereft. So if you find a current lower price from an online retailer on an identical, in-stock product, tell us and we'll match it.

  • 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

And there he finds trouble. Also, making this worth the time of any aficionado of MacDonald or detective fiction writing in general is that the last section of this book features beginnings of incomplete stories, fragments that MacDonald never ended up using. I am definitely going to have to get my hands on the Archer short stories, Prashant. If you think the name lacks good taste, consider the books of Felony and Mayhem, publishers of the Midsomer Murders novels by Caroline Graham. Even his regular readers seldom saw a Macdonald denouement coming. The 12 stories here cover the years from to and give a good view of Archer's evolution over the same period. Knopf Doubleday Publishing Group. Some of "Strangers" Macdonald re-used in one of the best short works of his early period, "Guilt Edged Blonde," and the rest he transformed into "The Ivory Grin," one of his more successful early novels. Me encantan las historias de detectives y aunque estas fueron cortas me interesaron mucho! Sleeping Beauty. When I was in my mid twenties I decided to to stop reading science fiction and fantasy for a while. Excellent post, Prashant. True, a few of the plots don't withstand scrutiny.

Kilbourne, who thinks Harper might be The Drowning Pool in his efforts to get ownership of some of Olivia Devereaux's oil-rich properties, The Drowning Pool she is content to maintain as bird sanctuaries. Lew Archer is a private detective who makes his humble living mostly collecting evidence for divorce cases. So Fresh: Absolute Must See! I'm a sucker for retro-looking covers, and I don't know why but that mint green colour of old swimming pools is something I like for some reason. Paul Newman really put on a performance in "The Drowning Pool". User Ratings. Archer finds himself facing corruption from The Drowning Pool police, from Big Oil, and from the very family involved in the midst of this whole mess. Runtime: min. That represents a very different approach to The Drowning Pool say Raymond Chandler or Ian Fleming handled similar scenes, in the process demonstrating the kind of sharp psychological insights behind character motivations that Macdonald's stories are full of. Archer shows us three effective portraits of women: an upper class lady who tightly controls her passions, her haunted, This is the second book in the Lew Archer series, and with it MacDonald has produced the first of his many first-class mysteries. The writing really nails the pallor of weariness that all noirs must carry.

  • Ross Macdonald's Environmental Crime Fiction
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by University of East Anglia digital repository Hard-Boiled Ecologies: Ross Macdonald’s Environmental Crime Fiction Author of eighteen novels and three collections of short stories featuring the acerbic, tough talking private-eye Lew Archer, Ross Macdonald’s position in the annals of great American hardboiled crime writers is unquestioned. Macdonald’s texts provide an equally unflinching glimpse into the violence and depravity of post-war California’s criminal underworld, continuing the tradition of the cynical, urban crime novel popularised by writers such as Raymond Chandler and Dashiell Hammett. Punctuated with narratives of domestic crime, childhood trauma, and ancestral dysfunction, Macdonald’s oeuvre offers a bleak vision of American suburbia, one built upon intergenerational violence, oedipal drama and corporate exploitation. Whilst Macdonald’s connection to the traditions of the American hardboiled has been thoroughly examined, what has often been overlooked in the study of his work are the underlying environmental preoccupations that frequently serve as the background to, or context for, crime. This convergence between ecology and criminality takes on greater significance when read in the context of Macdonald’s own involvement in environmental activism. A leading member of the Santa Barbara Citizens for Environmental Defence, in the late 1950s Macdonald became deeply concerned with the damage being inflicted upon Santa Barbara’s delicate coastal wildlife by the influx of oil-well platforms. Following the eventual eruption of one of these platforms in 1969, Macdonald wrote and campaigned passionately for a ‘new politics of ecology’, one that expressed the public’s bourgeoning ‘moral and economic doubts about the American uses of energy’ (Macdonald 1998, 326).

  • A Hero of Two Times: Erast Fandorin and the Refurbishment of Genre
    A Hero of Two Times: Erast Fandorin and the Refurbishment of Genre Dissertation Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Robert Alan Mulcahy, M.A. Graduate Program in Slavic and East European Languages and Cultures The Ohio State University 2013 Dissertation Committee: Helena Goscilo, Advisor John Davidson Yana Hashamova Jessie Labov Copyright by Robert Alan Mulcahy 2013 Abstract This study investigates the popular Adventures of Erast Fandorin series of Boris Akunin, Russia’s best-selling author of detective fiction. With the aid of Mikhail Bakhtin’s concepts of the chronotope and the zone of maximal contact, it addresses questions of genre (in a transnational context), serialization, and the role of zlobodnevnye voprosy (‘current issues’) in historical fiction. My analysis locates Akunin in the history of international detective fiction in order to appraise his contribution not only to the genre but also to modern Russian literature. To account for Akunin’s influential status in his home country, I hypothesize the reasons for the extraordinary success of his works and the cult around the protagonist of the series, as well as the significance of Fandorin’s values for contemporary Russian society. ii Acknowledgements During the entire course of this project I have been tremendously fortunate to have had the intellectual guidance and moral support of my advisor, Dr. Helena Goscilo, whose enormous patience and enduring trust in me helped to ensure that this thesis was eventually written. I would like to profoundly thank Dr. Goscilo for the time and effort she has invested and for the results of our collaboration.
