{"product_id":"9781476673714","title":"Swedish Marxist Noir : The Dark Wave of Crime Writers and the Influence of Raymond Chandler by Per Hellgren","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 \u0026amp; 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.\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback \/ softback","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56301577273717,"sku":"9781476673714","price":60.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9781476673714.jpg?v=1762791507","url":"https:\/\/backstory.london\/products\/9781476673714","provider":"Backstory","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
