In Dog He Trusts: Retrieving Burke's Pun from Goodall's Detective Trilogy
2018
Overview
In this way, the symbolic violence suggested through cannibalization may be seen as the \"scapegoating\" of others or \"mortifying\" ourselves.3 I use Goodall's first detective story, which first appeared as a journal article (\"On Becoming\") around the same time as the publication of Casing a Promised Land and which \"should have been includ[ed].. .because it so clearly sets the noire detective tone\" (Goodall, \"'Writing\" 80).4 The earlier story was included in a revised form as a book chapter in Living in the Rock N Roll Mystery and in an \"expanded edition\" of Casing a Promised Land. Beyond that, the name \"Ishmael\" is a Biblical reference to one of Abraham's sons, the one who is banished to the desert, but who becomes the leader of the Arab tribes. [...]we have two Biblical allusions, one to \"the promised land,\" which is part of the title of Goodall's first book of detective stories (Casing a Promised Land), and the second to a mythological figure, Ishmael, whose descendants also figure into the story of \"the promised land.\" In this story, Goodall's detective is at his Chandlerian best: proud and heroic, aware, and \"fit for adventure\" (Chandler 18). ~When Goodall realizes that the fix is in, that he's just been a pawn in the corporate game, he notes that \"there are times in your life when even your best dog.. [...]the hierarchic order of corporate life is set up by the pun, and ends with the detective, who shares substance with his \"best dog,\" faces off-both grappling and admiring-'the \"ineffable\" god(dess). [...]Alexander remembers his first academic encounter with Goodall's book, Living in the Rock N Roll Mystery, and the reference to 'White Dog, and having a visceral response to the ideology and nomenclature of the term in his childhood experience in Southwestern Louisiana.
