In the first major study of representations of World War II in
French crime fiction, Margaret-Anne Hutton draws on a corpus of
over a hundred and fifty texts spanning more than sixty years.
Included are well-known writers (male and female) such as Aubert,
Simenon, Boileau-Narcejak, Vargas, Daeninckx, and Jonquet, as well
as a broad range of lesser-known authors. Hutton's introduction
situates her study within the larger framework of literary
representations of World War II, setting the stage for her
discussions of genre; the problem of defining crimes and criminals
in the context of the war; the epistemological issues that arise in
the relationship between World War II historiography and the crime
novel; and the temporal textures linking past crimes to the
present. Filling a gap in the fields of crime fiction and fictional
representations of the War, Hutton's book calls into question the
way both crime fiction and the French theatre of World War II have
been conceptualized and codified.
