Private Eyes\u003c\/i\u003e examines the tradition of the private eye as it evolves in films, books, and television shows set in Los Angeles from the 1930's through the present day. It takes a closer look at narratives--both on screen and on the printed page--in which detectives travel the streets of Los Angeles, uncovering corruption, moral ambiguity, and greed with the conviction of urban cowboys, while always ultimately finding truth and redemption. With a review of Los Angeles history, crime stories, and film noir, \u003ci\u003eL.A. Private Eyes\u003c\/i\u003e explores the metamorphosis of the solitary detective figure and the many facets of the genre itself, from noir to mystery, on the screen. While the conventions of the genre may have remained consistent and recognizable, the points where they evolve illuminate much about our changing gender and power roles. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Watch a video of the author speaking about this topic: https: \/\/goo.gl\/Xr9RFD \u003cbr\u003e And also: https: \/\/www.dropbox.com\/s\/mkqw3mplruf7jje\/Detective%20Talk%20Full.mp4?dl=0 (https: \/\/www.dropbox.com\/s\/mkqw3mplruf7jje\/Detective%20Talk%20Full.mp4?dl=0)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Dahlia Schweitzer\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 081359636X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780813596365\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Rutgers University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/01\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 188\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.35lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 6.90h x 4.50w x 0.50d","brand":"Dahlia Schweitzer","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43926409281791,"sku":"9780813596365","price":24.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_0570fb29-d824-4a01-95cd-64655647b5a6.jpg?v=1681082927","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/la-private-eyes-dahlia-schweitzer-9780813596365","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
