CRIME IN THE WILDERENESS: THE ENVIRONMENTAL DIMENSION OF CONTEMPORARY AMERICAN CRIME FICTION
ABSTRACT (en)
In the last decades, crime fiction has proliferated into many subgenres, which are often analyzed from feminist, neo-Marxist, psychoanalytical, or postcolonial perspectives; however, hardly any attention has been paid to ecocritical approach. Focusing on the so-called Navajo mysteries by Tony Hillerman and his daughter Anne, on Dana Stabenow’s Kate Shugak series set in Alaskan Bush and Nevada Barr’s Anna Pigeon series situated in a variety of US national parks, the article attempts to show how contemporary crime fiction can be approached from ecocritical perspective. It analyzes how the setting is treated as an environment and how a range of ecological topics can be woven into the structure of a crime narrative.
