解説
Violent Sidekicks in Modern American Crime Fiction Series: Hawk, Clete, Pike, Mouse, Bubba, Win examines six violent sidekicks in contemporary American novels authored by Robert Parker, James Lee Burke, Robert Crais, Walter Mosley, Dennis Lehane, and Harlan Coben. These popular, award-winning series derive from the hard-boiled tradition established in the USA from the 1920s, centrally featuring private detectives with their sidekicks as important secondary characters.
The study analyzes the violent nature and conduct of each sidekick in turn, drawing comparisons and contrasts between them as well as with their detective counterparts. It examines the origins of their violence and its role in the novels, demonstrating that the sidekicks are remorseless and lacking in conscience, while detectives are somewhat less so. The violence committed is not always proportionate but is usually justified.
This volume is an indispensable resource for researchers and advanced students engaging with genre studies, hard-boiled detective traditions, representations of violence, and the moral complexities of popular American narratives.
