V2nd - chapter 11 - more examples - Bastardized?

[Mark Kohut]

So, I go there excitedly per the recommendation and in the first essay
online, Women in Crime Fiction what do I see amidst an argument for 
the chronology of first women detectives but "in 1977, there was M.F. Beal's
"Angel Dance", with the first radical feminist detective which plunged into 
obscurity almost immediately" although it is still prized by feminists....

We know she was a friend of Pynchon's.....

There is a wonderful discussion of these issues in Martin Priestman's
(editor) Cambridge Companion to Crime Fiction; it includes a
discussion of Pynchon, postmodern and modern, detective and
anti-detective, McHale, Oedipus....and you may read it online.
