Arguably, however, these are the complete fictional works of two authors: French writer Boris Vian and his black American pseudonymous creation, Vernon Sullivan.

A comparison of Dead Man's Folly to The Body in the Library reveals that Christie's tricks in the latter text, which may or may not have fooled Miss Marple, are also played on Hercule Poirot.]]> Mon 23 Sep 2019 10:23:12 AEST ]]> Detective fiction and the critical-creative nexus https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:25087 Mon 07 May 2018 15:48:41 AEST ]]> Clueless: genre, realism and contingency in Ed McBain's early 87th Precinct novels https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:25587 Fri 20 Sep 2019 02:42:43 AEST ]]> Putting people in jail, putting people in books: author characters in Agatha Christie and Dashiell Hammett https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:39512 Death in the Clouds (1935) and Dashiell Hammett’s The Dain Curse (1928–1929). This article argues that the fictional authors have significant implications for our understanding of the two novels, not only because they serve as mediums for reflection on the detection genre and its conventions, but also, more importantly, because they initiate a complex interplay between conflicting forms of authority – a game of truth and fiction that threatens the authority of the detective protagonist and thereby calls into question the authoritative self-interpretation of the mystery plot as presented in the form of the detective’s solution. The article presents a comparative analysis of two writers who are rarely studied together and may seem to have little in common, embodying as they do two distinctive styles of detective fiction. As the analysis shows, the close proximity of detectives and authors in both novels makes for an important and overlooked connection between them, bringing to light a set of shared epistemological ironies.]]> Fri 10 Jun 2022 15:35:30 AEST ]]>
