TOUGH GUYS AND MEAN STREETS LITERATURE

One Semester Course

Tough Guys and Mean Streets is designed as a celebration of one of the most exciting schools of writing during the 20th century. The hard-boiled genre, once viewed by many critics as a mere sub current to mainstream American literature, has, in recent years become widely accepted for its tremendous and enduring influence on the development of American and European letters. Paced with express-train velocity, and crackling with lean and muscular prose, the tough guy/hard-boiled detective story pits the lone hero against brutal urban landscapes seething with criminal conduct, no-holds-barred violence, and most crucially, moral ambiguities. Standing shoulder to shoulder with the vicious underworld and antagonistic police, the tough guy hero/heroine is a modern day extension of the Western hero, whose guns blaze and spit the same righteous punishment once meted out by the likes of Wild Bill Hickock, Bat Masterson and Wyatt Earp. The odds for survival, however, are weighed heavily against him/her. The hours are endless and he/she drives a beat-up sedan; but, most importantly, his/her code is honor and his/her courage drives the carriage of justice to safety. He/she knows that there's a bullet waiting for him/her out there, but there is never a doubt in his/her mind that it is down these mean streets a man/woman must go.
