Misoginia Machismo Sadismo

The monograph describes how the masculine characters in the narrative noir tend to be sexist and misogynist to the point where some novels could be classified as snuff-novels. Following the ideas Genet described in The Pleasure of the Text, the book show examples of novels by Peninsular and Latin American writers where women are sliced and diced.
