Description

Review Ranging from early twentieth-century British spy stories to contemporary Scandinavian thrillers and covering settings that include Argentina, the French Pacific, Cuba, Australia, New Zealand, and much of Europe, the sixteen essays in this important collection ask crucial questions about the ways in which the encounter with the foreign has been staged in Western literature... The Foreign in International Crime Fiction is indispensable reading not only for scholars of the genre but also of ethnography, and of post-colonial and travel literature. -- Luca Somigli, University of Toronto, CanadaThis volume presents an array of original perspectives on the representation of the Other and the production of cultural hybridity in international crime writing. A must read for anybody interested in contemporary crime fiction on a global scale. -- José Colmeiro, University of Auckland, New ZealandIt is a must read for those who want to widen their crime fiction horizons. They should not be disappointed. -- Sue Lilley, City University and London Metropolitan University, UK ― The Journal of Specialised Translation Product Description The foreigner is a familiar character in popular crime fiction, from the foreign detective whose outsider status provides a unique perspective on a familiar or exotic location to the xenophobic portrayal of the criminal other . Exploring popular crime fiction from across the world, The Foreign in International Crime Writing examines these popular works as transcultural contact zones in which writers can tackle such issues as national identity, immigration, globalization and diaspora communities. Offering readings of 20th and 21st century crime writing from Norway, the UK, India, China, Europe and Australasia, the essays in this book open up new directions for scholarship on crime writing and transnational literatures.

Jean Anderson is Associate Professor at Victoria University of Wellington, New Zealand and Director of the New Zealand Centre for Literary Translation. She is the Editor of The New Zealand Journal of French Studies.
