Binding: Paperback
Description: Marxist theories have had a profound influence on crime fiction beginning with the works of the American writers of the 1930s. This study explores the development of a Swedish Marxist noir subgenre after the 1990s through a Marxist reading of central works from the Marlowe novels of Raymond Chandler to the 1960s social crime fiction of Sjowall - Wahloo to modern bestselling authors such as Henning Mankell Stieg Larsson Roslund & Hellstrom Jens Lapidus Arne Dahl and others. The works of these writers show a common thread of Marxist worldview in their portrayal of a modern world gone wrong.
