As I'm never sure if my messages reach the List, I'll be short.
The books by Mandel on crime ficition are rather well known.
I've read two of them (long ago - in French ) and I was far from convinced. Besides interesting ideas about "class" literature, I had the feeling Mandel did not know very well the scope and large field of the crime ficition and their authors.

And here's another article I recently came across, this time from a
socialist mag produced right here in Winnipeg:
http://canadiandime nsion.com/ articles/ 2008/07/13/ 1921/
It covers political thrillers rather than noir/hardboiled, but there's
an awful lot of names familiar to rara-avians.
One non-fiction title mentioned is Delightful Murder: A Social History
of the Crime Story by a Marxist economist named Ernest Mandel. Looks
like it's about 25 years old. Anyone ever heard of this one?
