This collection of twenty essays by international scholars, examining crime fiction production from over a dozen countries, confirms that a comparative approach can both shed light on processes of adaptation and appropriation of the genre within specific national, regional or local contexts, and also uncover similarities between the works of authors from very different areas. Contributors explore discourse concerning national and historical memory, language, race, ethnicity, culture and gender, and examine how identity is affirmed and challenged in the crime genre today. They reveal a growing tendency towards hybridization and postmodern experimentation, and increasing engagement with philosophical enquiry into the epistemological dimensions of investigation. Throughout, the notion of stable identities is subject to scrutiny. While each essay in itself is a valuable addition to existing criticism on the genre, all the chapters mutually inform and complement each other in fascinating and often unexpected ways. This volume makes an important contribution to the growing field of crime fiction studies and to ongoing debates on questions of identity. It will therefore be of special interest to students and scholars of the crime genre, identity studies and comparative literature. It will also appeal to all who enjoy reading contemporary crime fiction. 410 0$aText (Rodopi (Firm)) ;$v56. 606 $aDetective and mystery stories$xHistory and criticism 606 $aIdentity (Philosophical concept) in literature 606 $aIdentity (Psychology) in literature 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aDetective and mystery stories$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aIdentity (Philosophical concept) in literature. 615 0$aIdentity (Psychology) in literature. 676 $a809.933556 701 $aKrajenbrink$b Marieke$0978004 701 $aQuinn$b Kate M$0978005 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910454353203321 996 $aInvestigating identities$92227995 997 $aUNINA
