What specifically makes _Black Wings Has My Angel _ exemplary
(of the Gold Medal crime novel)? The hardscrabble or
downscale setting? The working class or underclass
characters? Their desperation to survive rather than to
solidify status? The novel's implict criticism of an economic
and social system that condemns people without middle class
education and manners to insularity, racism, a need to repond
to obstacles with violence? The nature of the crimes
committed? The undertone of sexual repression and the
untimate liberation of sexual desire from that repression?
The power of the femme fatale?
