Modern Fiction: Gender bending in a classic

A genre which I recently discovered, and were more or less in love with, because to do so, the detective, Black Mystery genre. Of course, these sub-genres all the same basic idea, but they come with a little different, in my reading experience very different, because I'm not much on the stick, but to find something unusual and experimental stretch the brain a little. Here are some of the most interesting titles, which I scrounged up in recent years that I think you should read. I think because some of my favorite writers are in love with the genre, which makes the process incredibly easy to jump from one to a new book from someone I enjoy a lot of respect.
Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night - by Mark Haddon. An autistic boy trying to unravel the mystery of his neighbor's dead dog. Of course, all along, he discovered much more about the world in which he lives and manages the relationships of his family. An amazing book, which takes the full freedom to the genre and miracles.
Kiss Me, Judas by Will Christopher Baer. A dark, disturbing, adventure travels really well. This is the kind of books that kind of nihilistic salivation. Phineas Poe is a former stranded in the internal affairs detective who wakes up away in a bathtub full of ice, his kidney by a prostitute. The book is relentless, and Baer is certainly the Edgar Allan Poe and Albert Camus type detective story.
Hardboiled Wonderland and the End of the World - Haruki Murakami. Murakami is probably my favorite author. Period. He is a genius of the written word and I read the translation. Beginning with his first book of the Pinball 1973, he has always had a keen interest in the detective genre, but this is his best. An ode to Hammett and Borges all in the same room. Genius.
The intuitionist - Colson Whitehead. The response of the 21 Century by Richard Wright, wrote a brilliant allegory Whitehead race in a detective story that can really bend your mind wrapped. I read it in a class and enjoyed the attention to sex and not take into account the constraints into account. His characters are odd and strange ways, but the literary prose is always on, while behind the best throw of black 40th
The hollow chocolate bunnies of the Apocalypse - Robert Rankin. It's funny. Kid gets lost in Toyland. Kid meets Detective stuffed bears. Kid must solve the murder mystery of famous people ... Humpty Dumpty does, etc. A writer is a classic, still not the light of the U.S. publication. Imported from the United Kingdom.
Gun, With Occasional Music - By Jonathan Lethem. Lethem is my second favorite writer and a brilliant assault of its kind He made science fiction, coming of age, the detective, and in some cases, all three in one. Is one of them. A detective in the not too distant guns must battle music and waving trenchcoat kangaroos.
The Long Goodbye - Raymond Chandler For. A classic. Chandler was one of the inventors, it is a must. I read it on impulse when I realized how much I was interested in mechanics, then read it again later. For anyone who has seen another book on this list, or comic by Frank Miller, or a movie, even partial, black and white or a detective burst read, you should Chandler.
The Eyre Affair - by Jasper F.forde. Not really a thriller ... but again, not really a thriller. F.forde mix together in this highly educated, Supreme farce. His novels are always a bit weird following Thursday with each new entry, and even more endearing to all types of bending facade he has created.
The Maltese Falcon - Dashiell Hammett by. The book par excellence for me. I wrote two stories based on them, and saw the movie a dozen times at least Bogart. I love this novel and will continue to love him, like Hammett is the type of all black.
With a few classics and a number of new and interesting books from some of the best writers around, has the detective noir genre is something like a pet project of mine. Not only do I read and try to find the best reviews, new and old, but I write and like any good detective writer, I try to understand how to disassemble. And this is not the key to all things related to detective, but something else.
