Things To Know About The Mobster Crime Novel

By Deborah Anderson


What many people like in books is often related to genre. And there are lots of these available and new ones crop up every year, although the major ones have all been defined and what is new could be innovative mash ups or combinations of the old. Novels that are about detectives and criminals are a mixture of the classic and the new.

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 might say this topic had its golden age in some decades past. There were numerous works put out during that time, often adapted for film or television, with gangsters and their molls, the criminal operations, and they way they fight with each other and with their own numbers. Drama is intense for this subject, and the tone is high, serious and often tragic.

Crime is something that lots of folks go willingly into, and many mobsters will say how they did not come into it willingly. There will really be no liking a thing like this, but many accept and are willing sacrifice their lives for it with morbid humor and even some laconic wit. Life that is being portrayed in books like these is constantly violent.

While criminals pay in the end, there are times when they are portrayed as do gooders, sort of like the Robin Hood type of criminal who steals from the rich to give to the poor. Mobsters, too, have this integral quality, because they often fight for a cause in a political or national climate which disregards the rights of their constituents. They may have formed their groups to protect their people.

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.

The book covering criminal activities and their histories or beliefs, and the dreams of folks involved should be researched well. Authors here could have been part of these groups, and have made it their focus to tell the world how truth works in these groups or movements. These often are real movements having good causes.

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 these make this novel a unique perspective into the real men and women who have thrown their lot in to leading dangerous lives. They may even be some of the most intelligent people around. And the way this novel is sought after is telling in that a lot of readers sympathize with the causes found in it.
