AB The hard-boiled literary formula has been the focus of multiple postmodernist reappropriations. This subgenre of detective fiction has been rewritten through various literary subversions to capture a plurality of perspectives that were not contemplated in the original hyper-masculinized formula. Sara Paretsky is an American writer who has taken part in the reinterpretation of the hard-boiled narrative through a feminist approach. Through the protagonist of her works, V.I. Warshawski, the author is committed to innovating the perception of women in the crime novel. In this study, several literary subversions of the novel Body Work (2010) are explored in relation to the contemporary cultural context.
