In particular, this book focuses on food as an analytical category in the study of tough masculinity as represented in American hardboiled fiction. Through an examination of six American novels: Dashiell Hammett's \u003ci\u003eThe Maltese Falcon, \u003c\/i\u003eRaymond Chandler's \u003ci\u003eThe\u003c\/i\u003e \u003ci\u003eBig Sleep, \u003c\/i\u003eLeigh Brackett's \u003ci\u003eNo Good from a Corpse, \u003c\/i\u003eDorothy B. Hughes's \u003ci\u003eIn a Lonely Place, \u003c\/i\u003eJim Thompson's \u003ci\u003eThe Killer Inside Me, \u003c\/i\u003eand Rex Stout's \u003ci\u003eChampagne for One, \u003c\/i\u003ethis book shows how these novels reflect the gradual process of redefining consumption and consumerism in America, which traditionally has been coded as feminine. Marta Usiekniewicz shows thatfood and eating also reflect power relations and larger social and economic structures connected to class, gender, geography, sexuality, and ability, to name just a few.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Marta Usiekniewicz\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 303129159X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783031291593\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Palgrave MacMillan\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/13\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 237\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.99lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.27h x 5.83w x 0.63d","brand":"Marta Usiekniewicz","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":45180505096447,"sku":"9783031291593","price":129.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_88437153-dca3-4c22-a01d-3c213cc3747a.jpg?v=1712898085","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/food-consumption-and-masculinity-in-marta-usiekniewicz-9783031291593","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
