The humor of Sherlock Holmes, Donald Westlake, Agatha Christie, Michael Innes, and Edmund Crispin are just a few of those discussed. A major point highlighted by this book is simply that wit, slapstick. laughter, and an anything-can-happen motif appear in a significant amount of fiction about crime.

Soft cover. Etat : COLLECTIBLE - NEW. First Edition, First Thus. BRAND NEW & Collectible. Anthology of 11 essays delving into the use of common formulas used in crime fiction as a vehicle of comedy, and indeed, laughter. A somewhat uneasy relationship between mirth and death is prevalent in fiction. One might recall Northrup Frye's classification of the entire genre of detective fiction into the category of Comic Fictional Modes --- albeit in the sense that evil is always thwarted and good reigns. The humor of Sherlock Holmes, Donald Westlake, Agatha Christie, Michael Innes, and Edmund Crispin, in this "anything-can-happen" genre, are examined among many. N° de réf. du vendeur 003402
