Her fiction is peopled with realistically presented but often demonic persons whose attempts to express their own characters are frustrated by the grotesque and virulent culture of the U.S. (often symbolized by Detroit) and thus lead them into convulsive violence. The savage psychological portrayals of these people caught up in their passions and also victims of forces beyond their control or comprehension are presented as those of dwellers in a dark and destructive society.
