Call for Papers: Special issue on Margaret Millar, _Clues: A
Journal of Detection_
(deadline: April 28, 2006)
Published quarterly, the peer-reviewed _CLUES: A Journal of
Detection_ welcomes scholarly articles on all aspects of
mystery and detective material in print, television, and film
without limit to period or country covered. The spring 2007
issue will focus on Canadian-born author and screenwriter
Margaret Millar (Edgar winner, _Beast in View_; MWA Grand
Master; wife of author Ross Macdonald).
Guest Editor: Dean James, Houston, Texas
For the issue, the guest editor would particularly like to
see articles that:
-- illustrate Millar's influence on the development of the
suspense novel (perhaps with comparisons to Patricia
Highsmith and Dorothy B. Hughes),
-- show the influence of Millar's environmental concerns on
her settings,
-- analyze Millar's prescient awareness of social trends
(e.g., as demonstrated in _How Like an Angel_, one of the
first suspense novels to deal seriously with cult behavior),
or
-- highlight Millar's treatment of issues (e.g., racial
attitudes toward Hispanics in Southern California)
Submission Details. All articles in languages other than
English must be accompanied by a short paragraph describing
their contents. Submissions should include a short (50-word)
abstract and be between 15 to 20 double-spaced, typed pages
(approximately 3,300 to 6,000 words) in Microsoft Word or
WordPerfect with minimal formatting. Authors are encouraged
to submit manuscripts both on disk and in hard copy as
back-up or as an electronic submission. Manuscripts should
follow the _MLA Style Manual_ by Joseph Gibaldi
(2nd ed., 1998), including parenthetical citations in text
and an alphabetized list of Works Cited; and should be
accompanied by a stamped return envelope if return of
manuscript is desired.
