Edgar Watt Lapoul: Selected Short Stories

Mystery novels, I have only been exposed to Keigo Higashino's works before. Others are not involved (I am nearsighted).

I don't know much about edgava lapol.

Edgwa Lapol, formerly known as Taro Hirai, is known as the "father of detective mystery novels" in Japan, and his detective Akihito Kogoro is a household name in Japan.

The real contribution of his life lies in his persistence in the creation of mystery novels under the condition of extreme material distress and fragile spirit. In his later years, he took out most of his savings and set up the Edogawa Random Step Award (the Nobel Prize in Japanese reasoning) to encourage and tap new people.

Edgar Watt Lapoul's writing style is relatively rough, but the detailed but not exquisite description can actually describe the madness and obsession of criminals.

At the same time, there is often a detailed description of a certain criminal act in novels, and the last part mentioned is false. This kind of bridge deliberately creates a dreamy feeling of reality and illusion.

It is a sentence I often say, "Floating world is a dream, and only night dreams are true." "

(In this book, there is a detailed analysis of the writing characteristics of Edgar Watt Lapol, so I won't say much. )

This book contains four short stories by Edgar Watt Lapoul:

Two coins, nightmares during the day, rings, men traveling with stickers.

Every article is followed by the translator's analysis, which means a lot of summary.

Personally, I prefer the first and second stories.

"Two Money Copper Coins" is the first novel of Edgar Va Lapol. I can't guess the ending. I don't know who is the "behind-the-scenes person". Two friends are fighting with each other. Who is smarter?

Fifty thousand dollars was stolen, and I don't know where it is. This is attractive enough.

The password in this article is a big point. Although I don't understand it very well, I can feel very awesome (laughing and crying). The author is very familiar with passwords. Cracking the password is very exciting, and the brain is working.

"The mantis catches cicadas, and the yellowbird is behind." This feeling. Episode after episode. It's beyond my expectation.

One hundred nightmares is fantasy, mystery, dream ... true or false, true or false.

A man said in the street that he killed his wife. People around him laugh from time to time.

The appearance of a man makes me feel terrible.

"Under the hair with bright luster like a wig, the nose on the top of the head is high, the face is blue, the eyes are slender, and the lips have a beautiful beard, but the lips are painted red. Lips are foaming at the mouth and keep opening and closing. Sweat oozed from the high nose. You can see a pair of bare feet covered with dust from the hem of kimono. "

It's weird. Killing people is a joke to them and a great pastime. Is it true or not?

If you are in a dream, but the body in the cupboard emits cold light, it means that your skin is already dark.

Fog, flowers, smoke, fireworks and fog, the floating world reflects dreams and floating world.

The Lord of the Rings is not as strong as the first two. The subsequent development can be imagined.

"People who travel with stickers", the whole article is also like a dream, the illusion turns into a dream, and the empty shadow is lonely.

The whole language is gorgeous and meticulous. The concentration of beauty is too high to be easily seen. The magnificent hall is dazzling.

Edgar Watt Lapoul is always critical of his works, with few words of praise.

However, for the work "People Traveling with Stickers", Luan Bu once commented, "In a sense, this work may be the most reassuring of my short stories."

Mm-hmm ~ it's still a very good story. Calm down and I'll go and have a look. )

Reading mystery novels is also a good experience. Admire the author's thinking and conception. Let people applaud.
