| Summary |
"Irish detectives are idiosyncratic characters, conforming neither to obsolete, stereotypical crime fiction devices nor to sentimentalized notions of Irishness engendered by the American imagination and popular culture representations. As these detectives attempt to reconcile and evaluate standards of religious and legal justice, assessing and ranking their value in a search for absolutes to incorporate in the basis of their own, individual systems, Irish noir makes use of heritage and genre in the establishment of a new approach: one which considers what it means to be both an individual and the product of social systems, both acculturated and globalized, both affected by the past and assuming a role in progress, both aware of imperfections of the self and the world and desirous of having a positive impact"-- Provided by publisher |
