CRIME FICTION:The Urban Landscape of Marxist Noir

Crime Time offers a fascinating interview with Alan Wald about Marxists and the crime novel -- The Urban Landscape of Marxist Noir.

Anyone with any familiarity with left fiction will know that communists and a lot of genres have been integrated in a comfortable partnership of outlook. The Wald interview explores this connection by touching on those authors who remained loyal to their radicalism and not just those who wrote well in a Marxian moment only to later recant.
