Recenzii

Crime fiction is read around the world in many different languages, and now we have an excellent and comprehensive collection of critical essays on world crime literature for those with a taste for murder and mayhem.
Crime Fiction as World Literature is a perfect introduction and a necessary text for students and scholars of crime fiction, as well as an important work for students and scholars of comparative and world literature.
There is much to like in this volume ... The authors of the different chapters make their topics easily understandable to an audience not necessarily versed in the intricacies of the genre and at the same time offer genuine contributions that sometimes cut across several disciplinary lines.
Here we have a study of crime fiction that, for once, is not satisfied with rounding up the usual suspects, but is fully aware that, like crime itself, crime fiction is a worldwide phenomenon. What is more, true to its 'world literature' perspective, this collection of essays has a close and rewarding look at the market mechanisms and the vicissitudes of translation without which crime novels (and novels in general) would be doomed to stay within their national orbits.
