Roth, Laurence : Inspecting Jews - American Jewish Detective Stories.

  • description
  • additional information
Laurence Roth argues that the detective story, located at the intersection of narrative and popular culture in modern America, examines the need for order in a disorderly society, and thus offers a window into the negotiation of Jewish identity. He analyzes stories about American Jewish detectives—including Harry Kemelman’s Rabbi Small, Faye Kellerman’s Peter Decker and Rina Lazarus, Stuart Kaminsky’s Abe Lieberman, and Rochelle Krich’s Jessica Drake—not only as a genre of literature, but also as a reflection of contemporary acculturation in the American Jewish popular arts.
