{"product_id":"the-noir-thriller-lee-horsley-9780333720455","title":"The Noir Thriller","description":"What is literary noir? How do British and American noir thrillers relate to their historical contexts? In considering such questions, this study ranges over hundreds of novels, analysing the politics and poetics of noir from the hard-boiled fiction of Hammett, Chandler and Cain to the exciting diversity of nineties thrillers, with sections on the tough investigators, gangsters and victims of the Depression years: the first-person killers, femmes fatales and black protagonists of mid-century; the game-players, voyeurs and consumers of contemporary thrillers and future noir.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Lee Horsley\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0333720458\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780333720455\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Palgrave MacMillan\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/19\/2001\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 329\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.30lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.60h x 5.74w x 0.98d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 09\/01\/2001 pg. 115\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eReference and Research Bk News\u003c\/i\u003e 08\/01\/2001 pg. 243","brand":"Lee Horsley","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":47421455401215,"sku":"9780333720455","price":109.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_b658b57a-11a2-447f-974e-8e4717a8db07.jpg?v=1761526880","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-noir-thriller-lee-horsley-9780333720455","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
