Paradoxa Volume 24Espionage FictionThe Seduction of ClandestinityParadoxa, Volume 24, Espionage Fiction: The Seduction of Clandestinity."This issue of Paradoxa on espionage fiction engages  novelists and scholars in a wide-ranging conversation on the genre from  the early twentieth century to the post-9/11 era. The essays are  attentive to contemporary literary theory and build on previous critical  paradigms while positing new frameworks for analysis. Single author  articles reevaluate canonical figures as well as authors who challenge  the traditional male-centered history of the genre. Extensive interviews  with Gayle Lynds and Olen Steinhauer become illuminating dialogues on  espionage fiction and writers’ methods. Virtually all readers will learn  much from this fine collection." –Kay Mussell, Professor Emerita of  Literature at American University and co-editor of North American Romance Writers (1999)"This new collection of essays is rich in the secret byways of  international intrigue. Spy fiction deserves the serious attention found  in this superb issue of Paradoxa. Just keep it a secret." –Clive Bloom, Professor Emeritus, Middlesex University, editor of Spy Thrillers: From Buchan to le Carré (1990)"This enterprising and varied collection sheds new light on the  gendering of spy fiction and permutations of the genre since the Cold  War. It addresses neglected figures, offers new interpretations of  established authors, and includes an exceptionally thorough survey of  recent espionage fiction beyond its usual Anglo-American parameters. The  collection profits throughout from situating the genre within its  evolving cultural contexts after World War II and in the wake of 9/11.  An extra bonus is the inclusion of in-depth interviews with novelists  Gayle Lynds and Olen Steinhauer as well as critic LeRoy Lad Panek."  –David Seed, Professor of English at the University of Liverpool and  editor of A Companion to Twentieth Century United States Fiction (2010).http://paradoxa.com/Table 7             , Introduction, Robert Lance Snyder 11, In Light of the Other: The Hero and the Adversarial Spy, Emma Grundy Haigh 31, Domestic Intelligence: Marriage and Espionage in Helen MacInnes’s Fiction, Christine Bold 55, Manning Coles: The Intermodernism of Espionage Fiction, Mary Anne Schofield 73, Dorothy Gilman’s Mrs. Pollifax and Ian Fleming’s James Bond: Soft and Hard Spy Fiction, Rosie White 91, (Im)Perfect Spies: Identity and the Pathology of the Cold War in John le Carré’s The Perfect Spy and The Secret Pilgrim, Brian E.
