   This article demonstrates the literary value of hardboiled detective fiction. I consider two different arguments for literary value, one based on Martin Heidegger's philosophy of art and the other on the tradition of form-content inseparability in literary aesthetics and literary criticism. The former is reliant on the genre's combination of formal complexity with substantive superficiality and the latter on the combination of formal complexity with substantive complexity. I employ Raymond Chandler's The Big Sleep (1939) and Nelson DeMille's Plum Island (1997) as examples, focusing on the question of whether they have thematic content. I demonstrate that the novels instantiate substantive themes—about corruption, alienation, and moral amnesia—in consequence of which the argument for form-content inseparability is more compelling. I conclude by suggesting that form-content inseparability underpins both the literary value of hardboiled detective fiction and the genre's capacity for aesthetic education. Read less

   "Alex was a successful screenwriter [he's won several awards, including best film at San Diego Comic-Con in 2012 for The Absence ], and I figured they wouldn't stop talking to each other!" As Jennifer Joel, Nelson's coagent at ICM, along with Sloan Harris, puts it, "Nelson happily stumbled into realizing that the perfect partner was his son, and we knew Alex had the story chops--a win-win-win situation." Alex took on what there was at that point--the idea of a deserter, the characters, and the framework--but he changed the plot and the backstory. With The Deserter , Nelson says he hopes readers enjoy the characters and the idea of a father-son team. Read less
