Just lately I picked up a couple of crime fiction books, having given the genre a wide berth for a long time. I had an idea absence would have made the heart grow fonder, but it hasn't. I can say this is far superior to the Donna Leon I read first, but that is merely to damn Dibdin with faint praise. Just lately I picked up a couple of crime fiction books, having given the genre a wide berth for a long time. I had an idea absence would have made the heart grow fonder, but it hasn't. I can say this is far superior to the Donna Leon I read first, but that is merely to damn Dibdin with faint praise. A few random thoughts, which I will hopefully put into some sort of coherent form of review soon: I am getting a little frustrated that Zen can't ever be in a happy relationship. I was worried about how things progressed in the book in which Gemma was introduced in book #8 - "And Then You Die" - and I find myself distracted from the mystery at hand with worrying about how that situation will resolve. The mystery in this book reminded me somewhat of "The Long Finish" in that I felt neither of them had a very satisfying conclusion. Dibdin seems to be writing this mystery as if he was a postmodernist himself. Being a fan of the Golden Age mystery, I don't want an inconclusive ending in which varying meanings can be found -- I want a culprit who is tracked down by the detective and caught! I loved the characters in this book: Ugo (the postmodern academic novelist) who is a thinly disguised portrait of Umberto Eco & his graduate student Rudolfo, whose girlfriend claims her name is Flavia and to be from Ruritania (!); the TV celebrity chef who can't cook but loves to sing (and do drugs); and the P.I. who acts as if he is in a book by Dashiell Hammett. ei arvosteluja | lisää arvostelu

HTML:In the latest installment in his critically acclaimed Italian mystery series, Michael Didbin sends Aurelio Zen to Italy's culinary capital, Bologna, where he discovers that some cases are not quite what they appear to be. When the corpse of the shady Bologna industrialist who owns the local football team is found both shot and stabbed with a Parmesan knife, Aurelio Zen is summoned to oversee the investigation. Anxious for a break from his girlfriend, who attributes Zen's slow recovery from routine surgery to hypochondria, he is only too happy to take on what first appears to be an undemanding assignment. The case quickly spins out of control, becoming entangled with the fates of a student semiotics, a mysterious immigrant claiming to be royalty, and Bologna's most incompetent private detective. Meanwhile a prominent postmodern academic accuses Italy's leading celebrity chef of being a fraud. Back to Bologna is dazzlingly plotted and delivers both comic and serious insights into the realities of today's Italy. From the Trade Paperback edition.. Kirjastojen kuvailuja ei löytynyt. |
