概要 In considering Edmund Wilson’s essay and the question he affects to ask, “Why Do People Read Detective Stories?” the author looks at two very different writers of detective stories, Agatha Christie and Raymond Chandler. He suggests that one reason they are so different is that they come out of different traditions: Christie from what she calls “The Sherlock Holmes Tradition,” and Chandler out of the American pulp fiction popular in the 1920s and 1930s. The author concludes that it is precisely their negotiation and navigation of these traditions that make their novels of interest and take us a step toward answering Wilson’s question.
