A Japanese-American Sam Spade: The Metaphysical Detective in Death in Little Tokyo, by Dale Furutani

Author(s): Carla Portilho / Language(s): English / Issue: 28/2017

The aim of this essay is to discuss the legacy of the roman noir in contemporary detective fiction produced outside the hegemonic center of power, here represented by the novel Death in Little Tokyo (1996), written by Japanese-American author Dale Furutani. Starting from the concept of the metaphysical detective (Haycraft 76; Holquist 153-156), characterized by deep questioning about narrative, interpretation, subjectivity, the nature of reality and the limits of knowledge, this article proposes a discussion about how these literary works, which at first sight represent a traditionally Anglo-American genre, constitute narratives that aim to rescue the memory, history and culture of marginalized communities. Typical of late modernity detective fiction, the metaphysical detective has none of the positivistic detective’s certainties, as he does not share in his Cartesian notion of totality, being presented instead as a successor of the hardboiled detective of the roman noir. In this article I intend to analyze the paths chosen by the author and discuss how his re-reading of the roman noir dialogues with the texts of hegemonic noire detective fiction, inscribing them in literary tradition and subverting them at the same time.

A Káfé

A Káfé

Author(s): Tamás Gergely / Language(s): Hungarian / Issue: 10/2012

(Webkávéház) A stockholmi Jani Istvánnal kezdõdött a folyamat: megtudta, hogy a Brassói Lapoknak van egy stockholmi tudósítója, s az nem más, mint a számára addig ismeretlen Gergely Tamás. Szóval: brassói–brassói, ráadásul stockholmi–stockholmi, „van talán közös témánk”-alapon találkozzunk. Kilencvenötöt írtunk, s én valóban tudósítottam szülõvárosom lapját – ahogy tudtam: kézzel-lábbal. Géppel vagy kézzel írt szövegeket küldözgettem postán (!), vagy mikor a könyvtárba kerültem, faxon, ez utóbbi már nagy fejlõdésnek számí- tott. Majd bejött a számítógép, ráadásul Jani István a világhírû Karolinska Intézet számító- géprendszerének a gondozója abban az idõben, úgyhogy megszületett az ötlet: Café Brassó–Stockholm címmel honoldalt, webkávéházat készíteni, találkozóhelyet a brassóiaknak a világhálón.

A Rhetorical Approach to Aspects of Philip Roth’s Narration Technique in the Zuckerman Project

A Rhetorical Approach to Aspects of Philip Roth’s Narration Technique in the Zuckerman Project

Author(s): Corina Alexandrina Lirca / Language(s): English / Issue: 17/2014

The Zuckerman project is characterized by a variety of narration techniques. The first book of the project is a first-person narration. A different narration technique (third-person narration) is adopted with the second installment, i.e. Zuckerman Unbound (also maintained through The Anatomy Lesson). Then Roth switches back to first-person narration and the diary style in the “Prague Orgy” and introduces fractures specific to metafiction in The Counterlife. Next, with the American trilogy he draws heavily on the technique called paralepsis. Finally, with Exist Ghost he surprises again. Over the course of the Zuckerman project, Roth submits his authorial audience to a continuous puzzlement, disregarding expectations or better said mocking at their expectations and their urge for the logical linkage with what the previous autonomous books conveyed.
