Very Good in Dustjacket. 0029197708. 242 pages. hardcover. Jacket design by Reginald Perry. keywords: Mystery Literary Criticism. DESCRIPTION - Detective novels are seductive and addictive, and the American reading public has a seemingly endless appetite for them. The mystery genre's appeal uniquely transcends the ordinary barriers of class, income level, gender, and education. In this lively, enjoyable look at the best American and British detective fiction, David Lehman investigates the mystery of mysteries: the profound satisfactions we get from evil, disorder, mayhem, and deception - which we know will be put right by the last page. The first story of 'ratiocination' was Edgar Allan Poe's 'Murders in the Rue Morgue:' but as Lehman shows, the detective story draws deeply from the rich ancient storytelling traditions. The mystery's conventions - the locked room, the clue 'hidden' in plain sight, the diabolical double, the villainous least likely suspect - work on us as childhood fairytales do; they prey upon our darkest fears, taking us to the brink of the unbearable before restoring a comforting sense of order. The myth of Oedipus, for example, contains the essential elements of a whodunit, with the twist that the murderer the detective pursues is himself. The detective novel, says Lehman, took murder out of the ethical realm and put it into that of aesthetics. Murder in a mystery becomes a kind of poetic conceit: the criminal is an artist, the detective a critic, and the blundering policeman a philistine. To this day, no other category of fiction so cleverly fuses a visceral impulse with a cerebral one - the physical action of the crime, the mental action of the detective. The impulse to treat murder as a baroque art form had its heyday between the wars in elaborate setpieces such as Agatha Christie's country house puzzlers. With their wisecracking gumshoe heroes, Dashiell Hammert and Raymond Chandler fashioned an existential romance out of the detective novel. More recent writers such as Ross Macdonald, P.D. James, and Ruth Rendell have raised the genre to a new level of psychological sophistication. Yet the form evolves still, and Lehman guides us to the epistemological riddles of Jorge Luis Borges and Umberto Eco, who challenge the notion of a knowable truth. PERFECT MURDER contains a useful selected bibliography of the best detective fiction, novels in related genres, and critical works about mysteries. Lehman also includes an annotated list of his fifteen favorite mysteries ever written. inventory #24236.
