Book Synopsis Detective Agency by : Priscilla L. Walton
Download or read book Detective Agency written by Priscilla L. Walton and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 1999-05-31 with total page 331 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A fun book about genre fiction and the ways women have appropriated the hard-boiled tradition of Sam Spade, Philip Marlowe, and Mike Hammer and the writings of Hammet, Chandler, Spillane, and others. A story of texts, movies, TV shows, and publishing, it goes quite beyond textual analysis. A bit like Jan Radway's and Tania Modleski's analysis of culture in the making (and we'll probably have blurbs from both on the cover of our book).
