Good Perspectives On The Mobster Crime Novel

By Deborah Anderson


A lot of people like books that are often genre stuff. Lots of genres have been made and new ones made each year, but the major genres have actually been defined already and anything new could be a combination of several old ones. The novel that is about criminals and detectives is classic and could also be infused with new stuff.

Mafiosi are those people identified with the Italian mob groups whose stories could make really fascinating reading, but these actually belong to a longer general tradition that addresses any kind of criminal group as the central focus. A Mobster Crime Novel will therefore include lots of other groups of this kind. But the Sicilian mob in America is certainly a classic item for this kind of book.

You could say that this topic has seen its heyday in past decades. There have been numerous written works that have even been translated into film about gangsters, their molls or girlfriends, their various crime operations and how they fight with the law and among themselves. The drama is often high and the tones are serious, dark and tragic.

Crime is not something that many people go into willingly and the mobsters will be the last to admit that they like it. In fact, there is no liking this thing, but an acceptance and willingness to pay the price of their vocation is carried with laconic wit and mordant humor. The life portrayed here is in constant violent motion and danger.

The saying that criminals pay is often seen with a mitigating factor for folks who do some good, like Robin Hood did, stealing and fighting the rich or the nobles to help the poor. Gangsters may have a quality like this, since they are those who may be fighting against a political system which has oppressed or marginalized them. Their formative foundations could often be for protecting their folks.

The laws will of course be against them but African Americans or Sicilians often say that their groups are fighting and oppressive, unjust system. It will mean their fighting to have better laws, and have them treat everyone equally, getting the ruling group to share power or to step down from laws made by prejudice. Racism, prejudice and discrimination are certainly things that could motivate crime.

A book which covers their activities and their philosophies and dreams will need to be well researched. Some authors themselves may have come from these groups originally but are now focusing on telling the world the inner spirit which has driven these movements. And these are real movements with relevant causes, too.

Oppressive systems often breed enemies, and folks that become these may be labeled criminal but the truth will not often be justified. The issues that have been discussed are often selling points for any book in this genre. Authors though are careful note spouse philosophies, but let them speak for themselves and how they play out as reality in the lives of characters.

All the points make this kind of novel very unique, a view into how men or women have willingly accepted the danger inherent in crime. These people may even have excellent qualities like intelligence and sympathy. And how many people like reading this type of book means that they understand how these causes work.
