{"product_id":"deconstructing-true-crime-literature-charlotte-barnes-9783031410444","title":"Deconstructing True Crime Literature","description":"This book provides a critical discussion of True Crime literature, arguing for the deconstruction of the genre into subgenres that better reflect a work's contents. In analysing seminal and lesser-known works, the areas of authenticity, accuracy, and author proximity are considered to form a framework on which an individual publication's subgenre (re)categorisation can be assessed. The book considers the likes of Ann Rule, Truman Capote, and Maggie Nelson, among other notable authors. Their works - those that fit into True Crime and those that defy categorisation within the genre as it exists - are reviewed, and their defining features critiqued. Topics such as narrative methodologies, figurative language, and utilisation of research are considered in support of this. These strands combine to a larger discussion regarding a deconstruction of True Crime, and the ways in which this will improve the social responsibility of the genre, and encourage a more conscientious consumerism of it.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Charlotte Barnes\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 3031410440\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783031410444\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Palgrave MacMillan\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/12\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 212\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.94lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.27h x 5.83w x 0.56d","brand":"Charlotte Barnes","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44450041790719,"sku":"9783031410444","price":119.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_12b3aff6-e144-4b7a-837f-3c49a1feda2b.jpg?v=1698502437","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/deconstructing-true-crime-literature-charlotte-barnes-9783031410444","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
