It’s a fact: we all love a good crime story. This year, for the first time ever, crime fiction became the bestselling genre in Britain. Take a look at The New York Times bestseller list in any given week: you will find at least three books there in the categories of mystery, thriller, suspense or crime. How, though, do we explain our continuing passion for stories of death, blood, and gore?
In search of some clues, Spotlight spoke to Professor of English Emeritus LeRoy Panek of McDaniel College, Westminster, Maryland, in the US, close to the city of Baltimore. Panek has taught crime writing. He is the author of a number of books on detective fiction, and he has won awards for his work on this topic.
Spotlight: Our appetite for crime — in real life, fiction, in book form or film — appears to be insatiable. How do you explain this obsession with the genre?
Professor Panek: First of all, it’s important to recognize that crime has always been a subject of great literature. Indeed, one can read most of Shakespeare’s tragedies as crime stories. Hamlet, for example, spends most of his time and energy in the play trying to uncover what has happened to his father. When popular fiction — reading for entertainment or relaxation — emerged in the 19th century, crime fiction satisfied readers in a number of ways that romances and science fiction could not. First of all, it showed the triumph of justice: that through the action of a hero, innocence can be asserted in spite of the confusions of circumstance and official ineptness. Next, it demonstrated problem-solving: the triumph of observation and rigorous logic over prejudice and laziness. It also made readers participants. In some books, not only do they observe the process of solving a crime, but in the “whodunit” form, they play a game with the writer, who does his or her best to play fair, but also to fool and surprise them.
