This book establishes the genealogy of a subgenre of crime fiction
that Antoine Dechene calls the metacognitive mystery tale. It
delineates a corpus of texts presenting 'unreadable' mysteries
which, under the deceptively monolithic appearance of subverting
traditional detective story conventions, offer a multiplicity of
motifs - the overwhelming presence of chance, the unfulfilled quest
for knowledge, the urban stroller lost in a labyrinthine text -
that generate a vast array of epistemological and ontological
uncertainties. Analysing the works of a wide variety of authors,
including Edgar Allan Poe, Jorge Luis Borges, and Henry James, this
book is vital reading for scholars of detective fiction.
