Full Description
Sara Paretsky is a world-renowned author, highly regarded for her V.I. Warshawski series, which has revolutionized the conventions of the crime fiction genre by presenting a feminist perspective. The notion that crime fiction is merely a popular genre meant for pure "entertainment" has particularly been reconsidered, as Paretsky's novels serve a pedagogical purpose in capturing the reader's awareness of different social concerns. It has become evident that various female authors of crime fiction, worldwide, are adopting a similar stance in order to point out disparities and adversities within their own particular socio-cultural context. This collection of academic essays explores the influence that the work of Paretsky has had on various authors throughout the world, given the precedent she set for such a notable shift in the genre of crime fiction.
