| Synopsis: | Done in the snappy-patter style of the great mystery writer, Raymond Chandler, Dodge & Dodge explore a genre usually reserved for male dominated stories and male dominated heroes. In VENUS FLYTRAP, a woman manages to get ahead in a male dominated field by the fact that all the able bodied boys were called to war, and detective work had to be done by somebody left back home; it's a tough job but somebody had to do it. So-- Butch Diamond, a lesbian detective, is hired by a young soldier who's looking for his missing twin. Amidst the background of New York during World War Two, Butch uncovers a myriad of lies and secrets among the disenfranchised and 4F's who've stayed back from the front. A wild post-modernist look at sexual politics through closed doors. And closets. | |||||
