Themes of Aggression and Evil in Detective Stories
The speaker discusses how aggression and evil in detective stories can be seen as an allegory for society, drawing parallels to Israeli politics. They also mention the novel The Wolf Hunt, which explores the theme of aggression within oneself. The chapter transitions to a discussion about Peter Kemp's book Retro Land and how fiction has become obsessed with the past since around 1970.
