All told, The Gangster of Love speaks to the inherent autonomy of the novel. As a writer living in an ethos of multiculturalism and artistic freedom, Jessica Hagedorn insists on composing her works in conditions bereft of any form of censorship or homogeneity. Writing in what is for her, ideal literary surroundings, Hagedorn devotes herself to preserving the sovereignty of her works while she continues to conjure up lavishly exceptional stories like The Gangster of Love.
