「黒死館殺人事件」著者之序

作品について

A brief author's preface to Kuroshikan Satsujin Jiken (The Black Death Mansion Murder Case), one of the three great enigmatic novels of Japanese detective fiction. In it, Oguri Mushitaro lays out the Faustian scheme behind his labyrinthine mystery and defends the dense, erudite style that would come to define his work. More than an introduction, it stands on its own as a manifesto of prewar Japanese detective fiction's most ambitious intellectual gambit. A concise window onto the aesthetics of a writer who treated the mystery novel as high literary puzzle.
