The United States of V, White, and Q. 330 $aTruth to Post-Truth in American Detective Fiction examines questions of truth and relativism, turning to detectives, both real and imagined, from Poe?s C. Auguste Dupin to Robert Mueller, to establish an oblique history of the path from a world where not believing in truth was unthinkable to the present, where it is common to believe that objective truth is a remnant of a simpler, more naïve time. Examining detective stories both literary and popular including hard-boiled, postmodern, and twenty-first century novels, the book establishes that examining detective fiction allows for a unique view of this progression to post-truth since the detective?s ultimate job is to take the reader from doubt to belief. David Riddle Watson shows that objectivity is intersubjectivity, arguing that the belief in multiple worlds is ultimately what sustains the illusion of relativism. 410 0$aCrime Files,$x2947-8359 606 $aLiterature, Modern$x20th century 606 $aLiterature, Modern$x21st century 606 $aAmerica$xLiteratures 606 $aLanguage and languages$xStyle 606 $aRhetoric 606 $aMetaphysics 606 $aMass media and crime 606 $aEthnology$xAmerica 606 $aCulture 606 $aContemporary Literature 606 $aNorth American Literature 606 $aRhetorics 606 $aMetaphysics 606 $aCrime and the Media 606 $aAmerican Culture 615 0$aLiterature, Modern$x20th century. 615 0$aLiterature, Modern$x21st century. 615 0$aAmerica$xLiteratures. 615 0$aLanguage and languages$xStyle. 615 0$aRhetoric. 615 0$aMetaphysics. 615 0$aMass media and crime. 615 0$aEthnology$xAmerica. 615 0$aCulture. 615 14$aContemporary Literature. 615 24$aNorth American Literature. 615 24$aRhetorics. 615 24$aMetaphysics. 615 24$aCrime and the Media. 615 24$aAmerican Culture. 676 $a813.087209 676 $a813.087209 700 $aWatson$b David Riddle$01072858 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910506393303321 996 $aTruth to Post-Truth in American Detective Fiction$92569069 997 $aUNINA
