Trade Paperback. Etat : Fine. First Edition. 1st paperback editioned. Oversize trade paperback. A fine, unread copy with just a touch of soioling to bottom of pages from shelf, in stiff wrappers. Explores the uncommonly long and rich relationship between the fictional. detective and his or her South. A Southerner, Poe, invented…the genre; some of the greatest writers to exploit the genre--Poe, Twain, Faulkner-- have been Southern; and some of the best contemporary writers -- James Lee Burke, Patricia Cornwell, and Carl Hiaasen at the very least-- are Southern. It begins with the New Orleans expatriate, Legrand, uncovering Captain Kidd's treasure on an island off Charleston, South Carolina; it covers the satires and parodies of Mark Twain and the polished stories of Melville Davisson Post and Irvin S. Cobb; and it concludes with surveys of the many good and excellent writers who are using the form of the detective story today.At the center of the book lies an analysis of William Faulkner's exploitation of the genre. Over 360+ pages. Book.
