Was this text previously a prescribed text for english extension 1, or any other english course? If it is, would anyone recommend using this as a related text for crime fiction?

it was in the prelim english advanced course

it'd be ok to use for crime fiction

ohh! thanks!!! So, would this be a parody of the hardboiled genre, is that its subgenre?

We are using it as a related text for crime writing in extension at the moment.
Definately not one of my favourite books but my teacher strongly recommended it. It is a pretty popular choice as a related text in the past as far as I'm aware.

Our standard english class are actually studying it at the moment too haha.
