Our extension english class has been given an oral assesment task which requires us to discuss two crime fiction pieces (one perscribed and one additional) that both perpetuate and subvert the generic conventions of crime fiction. Obviously, the best (and easiest) choice from the perscribed material will be Tom Stoppard's 'The Real Inspector Hound', but I'm not sure what to use as my piece of additional material.
I was wondering if anyone could suggest any authors who might be an effective choice to use for this task. I imagine there may be quite a few crime fiction parodies which fit the bill. If you want to be more specific, you could suggest particular novels or texts which might be helpful.
Thanks in advance.
