My dear Blissers,
Trembling but irresistible!
Have you ever wondered why you love watching creepy, mysterious and intriguing “crime fiction”? This Sat., an extraordinary expert in this genre writing and dissemination is going to unveil the hidden secrets behind it.
In the meeting, we ensure you will be inspired to get much in-depth understanding or even to start “writing” after such face-to-face author’s presentation and discussion. Welcome to the “Murder Ink” to plan a “defect-free” crime scheme. Ha-ha!
Bloody Murder: what shapes Crime Fiction?
Crime fiction has been one of the most popular genres since the 19th century, but has roots in works as varied as Sophocles, Herodotus, and Shakespeare. In Tommy’s very short Introduction explores the history of the genre, by considering the various definitions of 'crime fiction' and looking at how it has developed over time. Discussing the popularity of crime fiction worldwide and its various styles; the role that gender plays within the genre; spy fiction, and legal dramas and thrillers; he will give his insight into how the crime novel was shaped by the work of British and American authors in the 18th and 19th centuries.
Highlighting the works of authors such as Edgar Allan Poe, Conan Doyle, Agatha Christie, and Raymond Chandler — to name but a few — he considers the role of the crime novel in modern popular culture and asks whether we can, and whether we should, consider crime fiction serious 'literature'.
