«Les poètes morts n'écrivent pas de romans policiers» is the crime novel by Björn Larsson, published by Grasset & Fasquelle in paperback (496 pages).
Editor Karl Petersén convinces poet Jan Y. Nilsson to write a crime novel; when he finds him hanged, Superintendent Barck, a would-be poet, investigates a crime with no shortage of motives. The plot becomes an ironic satire of the publishing world and the crime genre, with a literary game about writing and creation.
Text in French, translated from Swedish by Philippe Bouquet; original title: Döda poeter skriver inte kriminalromaner. Published in 2012.
For crime novel readers who appreciate satire of the publishing world and the metafictional element.
Swedish writer, Professor Emeritus, French Studies, Centre for Languages and Literature, Lund University
