{"product_id":"mediterranean-crime-fiction-barbara-pezzotti-9781009451475","title":"Mediterranean Crime Fiction: Transcultural Narratives in and Around the 'Great Sea'","description":"Contributing to the growing debate around the definition of Mediterranean noir, Barbara Pezzotti's groundbreaking study is the first in English to propose a rigorous classification of Mediterranean crime fiction. Intersecting crime fiction studies and Mediterranean studies, this interdisciplinary book provides a coherent and stringent definition in which the Mediterranean setting is not in the background, but is a meaningful arena where transnational space, globalisation and environmental issues are discussed; questions of regional, national and transcultural identity are investigated; and the themes of gender and violence are tackled. Pezzotti offers new ways of reading established crime novelists, such as Andrea Camilleri, Jean-Claude Izzo and Manuel V痙quez Montalb疣, alongside less well-known writers. To date, no other book-length study has taken a transnational and transcultural approach to these authors, and here Pezzotti invites us to consider the wider Mediterranean dimensions of their crime narratives, beyond their national contexts.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Barbara Pezzotti\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1009451472\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781009451475\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Cambridge University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/23\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 240\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.08lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.56d","brand":"Barbara Pezzotti","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44567015686399,"sku":"9781009451475","price":110.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_35eeabc6-94e8-42e4-a34c-970925081d2b.jpg?v=1701375619","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/mediterranean-crime-fiction-barbara-pezzotti-9781009451475","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
