Things To Know About The Mobster Crime Novel

By Deborah Anderson


Many people read books in one kind of genre. There are many of these that could be had and new items are added every year, but all major genres have been identified and defined and a new one is often an innovation on an older model. The book which has criminal organizations as a thematic item is classic and may also be an innovative take.

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 a thing that many folks willingly go into, and lots of mobsters could actually be trying to find a way out. But for most it is not about liking the life, but accepting the circumstances and the needed sacrifice that are needed with some wit or even humor. Portrayals are always connected to a life full of violence, loss and pain.

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 law says that this is wrong, but La Cosa Nostra, or black crime groups often point out that laws could be lacking. This means that they will fight against these to have better ones made, ones that are more equal and less advantageous to some group who have some made up qualities for being better. Racism, discrimination and prejudice often motivate people to organize into mob groups.

A book covering such persons and their activities, beliefs, histories and dreams need to have good research or background. So many authors here often were involved in either these groups or law enforcement, or any background that enables them to know these groups. The movements are a reality which often exist with a cause.

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.
