Review # 1 was written on 2015-10-20 00:00:00 Brad Adtea A beautiful anthology looking at Hispanic & U.S. Latina Lesbian Expression! Pretty Chicana-heavy, but there is a wonderful mix here.

Review # 2 was written on 2008-08-15 00:00:00 Aldo Freitas Leonard Cassuto's remarkable book posits that the hard-boiled novel continues an obsession with the themes of domesticity and mutual feeling that characterized the 19th C sentimental novel. He argues that the hard-boiled hero is increasingly sentimentalized/domesticated, while the villain is increasingly pathologized in the figure of the serial killer. Cassuto's study is convincing and lays out a powerful counter-narrative to conventional readings of the hard-boiled story as fundamentally reactionary.
