Unpredictable: Crime Fiction in Louis Owens's Dark River

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

The Native American author Louis Owens exlores clichéd action-adventure plots that are easily predictable in his last and most violent novel, Dark River (1999). The protagonist, Jake Nashoba, a mixedblood [sic] displaced from his own background and living in a community of Apaches, has to defend himself and his granddaughter against a patriotic militia group of ex- veterans camping on the tribal lands. While the story has a potential for clichéd violence and retribution, Owens opts for an ending that contradicts genre expectations. The aim of this paper is to examine how the author challenges the genre, what is the effect of these changes on the story as well as on the perception of the role of the Indian in crime fiction.
