Miscellaneous thoughts on crime writers, crime writing and sometimes on writing in general.
A sample from my Blog on various writers and their characters:
Henning Mankell – a depressive, self-absorbed detective (Kurt Wallender) who is abysmally bad at human relations but has persistence and intelligence for solving crimes. Also a subtle capacity to unravel the flaws of Swedish society from a left-wing perspective. Largely friendless, he doesn’t get on with his ex-wife, his father or his daughter.
Raymond Chandler – an intelligent yet socially isolated and independent PI (Phillip Marlowe) whose moral fibre and honesty guide him faultlessly through the temptations and evils of Los Angeles. He unwinds by playing chess against himself.
Colin Dexter – a lonely, sensitive and reserved aesthete (Endeavour Morse) with inadequate communication and social skills but ample compassion and insight into human frailties. He relaxes by playing opera.
