The Literature of Crime: Stories by World-Famous Authors (1950) by Ellery Queen (ed. Sun77)
Requirements: ePUB reader, 0.7Mb
Overview: Few people realize—few critics, too—that nearly every world-famous author, throughout the entire history of literature, has tried his hand at writing the detective or crime story. Some, it is true, have merely “stooped to conquer.” In these instances, the results have invariably borne the mark of the greatest of literary sins—insincerity. Most of them, however, have attempted in all good faith to conquer the technical difficulties of the form. In these instances, the results have seldom been so-so: great writers usually produce either solid successes or hollow failures, and many of them have made important contributions, creatively and critically, to the crime genre.
