Editorial Reviews
Review
Shortlisted for Mystery Writers of America Edgar Awards 2008 (Category: Critical/Biographical)
Shortlisted for the Anthony Award for Best Critical Work of 2007
'Connecting the threads of textuality, context, theme and significance, this is a masterful account of crime fiction, and it stands as a model for the expansive, smart, multidisciplined and integrated literary scholarship that the future demands.' - Peter Stockwell, Professor of Literary Linguistics, University of Nottingham, UK
Product Description
Nominated for the Mystery Writers of America ‘Edgar Awards’!
This book directly explores the three aspects of deviance that contemporary American crime fiction manipulates: linguistic, social, and generic. Gregoriou conducts case studies into crime series by James Patterson, Michael Connelly and Patricia Cornwell, and investigates the way in which these novelists correspondingly challenge linguistic norms, the boundaries of acceptable social behavior, and the relevant generic conventions.
