Female characters are given little to no agency by white male writers and this is overt in 20th century hard-boiled American crime fiction. In the works of Dashiell Hammett and Raymond Chandler‚ female characters exist only to serve as foils to re-emphasize the hyper-masculinity of the Continental Op and Phillip Marlowe‚ their respective detective protagonists. I put emphasise on the

They’re the books we read as sleeping pills at bedtime. When was the last book banned? Oh‚ how I miss the great book bonfires of my Christian youth! That’s when books had some power!
