Abstract:

The present article investigates Mailer's fiction and non-fiction in relation to Rank's views on creativity. Both Rank and Mailer are interpreted as examples of artists who invent themselves, the former as an intuitive therapist, the latter as the creator of a public and private persona. In Mailer's case, projections of the persona are traced to his fictional alter egos. Special attention is given to analyzing the significance of Mailer's creation of fictional protagonists who act out antisocial, anarchic impulses in a seemingly conflict-free way. This tendency, which characterizes Mailer's wo

Abstract:

While the crime genre may have seemed as purely masculine for the greater part of its history, feminist critics looking for the roots of female crime writing have found a rich history of both the woman crime writer as well as the woman detective. Since the 1980s there has been not only a pronounced resurgence of interest in crime fiction, but also a boom of female detectives created by female writers. Focusing on works by Robert Galbraith, Denise Mina, Linda Barnes, Dana Stabenow and S. J. Rozan, this article explores some of the ways the traditionally masculine private eye subgenre can be app

Abstract:

This article investigates the resemblance between the Arab immigrant experience in the Arab immigrant novel, on the one hand, and the experience of fiction reading, on the other one. The article analyzes Tayeb Salih’s Season of migration to the north (1966), Waguih Ghali’s Beer in the snooker club (1964), Walid Al Hajjar’s trilogy The search for the self (published privately in 1973, 1979, and 1984), Leila Aboulela’s The translator (1999), and Alaa Al Aswany’s Chicago: A novel (2007) to demonstrate the presence of a pattern depicting the experience of Arab immigrants as akin to fiction reading

Abstract:

James Baldwin has frequently been written about in terms of his relationship to geographical locations such as Harlem, Paris, St. Paul-de-Vence, Istanbul, and “the transatlantic,” but his longstanding connection to the American South, a region that served as a vexed and ambiguous spiritual battleground for him throughout his life and career, has been little discussed, even though Baldwin referred to himself as “in all but no technical legal fact, a Southerner.” This article argues that the South has been seriously underconsidered as a major factor in Baldwin’s psyche and career and that were i

Abstract:

The article investigates the subversion of the meanings of food tropes in Salman Rushdie’s novel “Midnight’s Children”. The research is carried out within the theoretical framework of Postethnic Narrative Criticism, which postulates that historical and political contexts are relevant for understanding and interpreting the postethnic literary work; however, literature should not be perceived as an accurate representation of reality outside the world of fiction or interpreted as such. The article provides an analysis of the key connotations of the tropes in the description of Doctor Aziz and his

Abstract: This article analyzes Lucha Corpi’s <em>Eulogy for a Brown Angel</em> (1992) and T. E. Wilson’s <em>Mezcalero</em> (2015). We seek to understand how their detectives, Gloria Damasco and Ernesto Sánchez, respectively, raise questions of identity, especially in relation to gender and ethnicity, and also bring multiculturalism and subalternity into their contexts. Corpi was born in Mexico and lives in the United States, while Wilson was born in Canada and lives in Mexico, and both write their detective fiction in English. The writing of these authors is a space of cul

Abstract:

Resumen: En La detective miope la escritora española Rosa Ribás lleva a cabo una inversión paródica de las normas de la literatura detectivesca al crear una investigadora privada recién salida de una institución psiquiátrica. A diferencia de los métodos deductivos empleados por eminentes detectives del siglo XIX, Irene Ricart subvierte las leyes de la lógica al resolver el enigma del brutal asesinato del que fueron víctimas su esposo y su hija. Mientras su vista se va deteriorando progresivamente, esta detective tan peculiar logra desenmascarar a los culpables del doble asesinato y acabar con

Abstract:

This study investigates the ability of science fiction to address issues that emerge in public health. The issues that form the focus of this paper include the spread of misinformation and disinformation, dependence on technology, and competent public-private partnerships that serve the interests of society. Each of these issues is brought under the spotlight by Barbadian sociologist Karen Lord in ‘The Plague Doctors’ and American psychiatrist Justin C. Key in ‘The Algorithm Will See You Know’.

Abstract:

Crime writing is not often associated with Holocaust representations, yet an emergent trend, especially in German literature, combines a general, popular interest in crime and detective fiction with historical writing about the Holocaust, or critically engages with the events of the Shoah. Particularly worthy of critical investigation are Bernhard Schlink’s series of detective novels focusing on private investigator Gerhard Selb, a man with a Nazi background now investigating other people’s Nazi pasts, and Ferdinand von Schirach’s The Collini Case (2011) which engages with the often inadequate

Abstract:

While this third chapter begins by focusing on the same early pioneers, it veers from inanimate descriptions to constructions of character. That is, Hammett conceived his private investigator as fundamentally figurative, the culmination of a flamboyant style expressed more or less entirely through dialogue, with the flaunting of a cool, flip, smart-assed affect. Subsequent fictional detectives likewise gain our attention by being reduced to stick-figure sketches, little more than quirky gestures and colorful banter. In contrast to other genres, where language tends to realistic transparency wh

This chapter features the Digital Mitford Archive’s work to construct a scholarly edition as a digital database. The chapter presents a view of the once popular and prolific Mary Russell Mitford as a writing node in a network of people and publications that shaped nineteenth-century literary and theatrical genres. The first half of the chapter applies distant reading methods to construct a model of Mitford’s correspondence network from extant records of over 2,000 letters held in public and private collections on both sides of the Atlantic.

Abstract:

This chapter initially discusses the literary origins of Jessica Jones, the superheroine introduced in Alias by Brian Michael Bendis and Michael Gaydos. In the comic book series, Jones is a blue-collar hero clearly tied to hard-boiled detective fiction: a genre about and for a working class audience. This chapter then presents the way Bendis and Gaydos use Jones’ identity as a private investigator to subvert traditional superhero stories that are written with little concerns for class. In addition, Alias uses Jones’ identity as a woman to subvert the male bias of both traditional superhero sto
