Pierre Lemaitre: crime, devastation and other delicacies in the dictionary of black novels

Crime, violence, ruin. Murder, social corruption and fangs in the mirror bar.Deadly women, corrupt police, Scandinavian and existential affliction.Sometimes deacons. Detectives, more alcohol, more deadly women, death, distortion, blood and destruction.And more death.

Who can reject this combo? Of course, there is no one in the right mind. Pierre Lemaitre, the French writer who founded the commander of the police brigade Camille Verhoven, who will now become a researcher in several works, has done the task of expressing his love for the black genre noir in his latest book “Passionate” Dictionary (Salamander). It is honored to all police fans, the most recent fans and followers of the founding father and mother. He does not lie about objectivity, but rather his methods are arbitrary and attractive. Five hundred pages of blood? Needless to say, the red liquid drips into it, but it is possible to make sure that it contains as much blood as strictly required by the rules of noir.

We have to put ourselves at the beginning of the genre.The direct good deeds of crime fiction appeared in a difficult time of the mid-19th century, when capitalism strengthened its role in the world with achievements and regrets, and at the same time questioned the economic and social order. In 1841, in Philadelphia, the great Edgar Allan Poe was filmed in Paris, and the mother and daughter of Paris seemed to die in an apartment where the doors were locked in “closed rooms” (later became a sub-genre). A crime in a street morgue, a mysterious story. Theories and theories were based to solve the brutal murder, but only the criminal analyst Auguste Dupin was able to solve the case and break the order of reasoning, as in natural societies. There are no author's works, so if you want to learn more, look for an article with the title of the story (108 pages), his conclusion is enough. “This short story contains almost everything that a crime novel will use for decades to come.”

The first stage ends with Sherlock Holmes, the violin, and the cocaine he consumes. It was created by the monarch of the British police kingdom when solving the case developed by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle (there is no entry of his own in this dictionary) or detective Hercules Poirot. However, Mrs. Agatha Christie expresses the call of a policeman to subtract someone who has not had enough criminals for a century) or a logical brain that helps restore lost order... Lemaitre explains very well in a recording called Head and Ball that refers to the above-mentioned British police officers and Americans who appeared during the Great Depression of 1929.

Raymond Chandler, one of the gods of noir, summarizes this topic as follows: “The first one should be able to see the first floor of the Greythorpe Mansion with an office, a weapon room, a main hall, a staircase and a corridor leading to the sinister room.Lips. Calmly listen to the whispers of the ruin. The latter thinks that the shortest distance between the two points is the distance that separates the blonde from the bed.”

He quotes Jean-Patrick Munchette from the dictionary. “On the one hand, Hercules Povaro, Bogart: Head and Ball on the other.” So they are divided into distant cousins, but finally the cousins are divided into black crime novels written in a world where criminal novels, deductive logic, search for deductive logic about murderers, economic and social crises are the backdrop of a capitalist society. The novel investigation work that leads to crime is divided into the underworld, organized crime, corrupt policemen, delegating a secret business to beat a million men. You have to be a capricious detective (or, more capricious, cop) in a dark environment surrounded by the chief, and, of course, deadly women.Crusaders Horizon. The detective charges a fixed fee per week and a daily subsistence allowance.

You should not continue reading dictionaries that are certainly familiar to readers in Latin America. Carlos Gamerro, author and literary critic of the Ten Commandments of the Argentine Black Police Officer, suggests how noir should work in the following regions:

“1. The crime was committed by the police.

2. If it is committed by a private security guard or an ordinary criminal, it must be ordered or approved by the police.

3. The purpose of the police investigation is to hide the truth.

4. The task of the Ministry of Justice was to conceal the actions of the police.

5. Tips and material markings are not reliable.The police arrived first.Therefore, there is no empirical basis for deductions.

6. Often, the identity of the murderer is known from the beginning, and the identity of the victim must be verified. Unlike the British police, Argentina usually begins with the disappearance of the corpse.

7. The main suspect (in the case of police) is the victim.

8. Everyone who is charged by the police is innocent.

9. A private detective is inevitably a former police officer or a former service officer. Therefore, the investigation can only be carried out by journalists or individuals.

10. The purpose of this investigation may be to find the truth and, at best, to reveal the truth. It is never to get justice.”

In addition to being rude, it seems to be suitable for the police in this country. Gamerro points out that the journalist who inspires the investigator of the black Argentine police is Rodolfo Walsh. He voices and names the pistol of José Leon Suárez, who reconstitutes the murder of the country and reaches the truth. Prologue of his operational massacre. The end of the retreat.

The most modern noir dictionary of this article is that it gives the reader a place on the roller coaster and investigation cart of crime. It is known that Chandler is one of the gods of Janra.Lemaitre says: “His novel looks like a fight against an intermittent fight (...) If it is perfect, it is not necessary to talk about it anymore; what he achieved is much more interesting.” “, explains his researcher, the legendary detective Philip Marlowe, who was born in 1939 with eternal dreams. “A sentimental and alcoholic cowboy who is obsessed with his moral code and constantly faces the fate of criminals, evils and women,” he explains. As Humphrey Bogart will play, an adaptation that is different from director Howard Hawks and director William Faulkner and the man wearing a coat and hat sitting at the bar will last forever.

A little earlier than Chandler, Daciel Hammett laid the foundation for a black American police.Although Hammett himself was a detective of a well-known investigative agency, he had to give up his job because of health problems. Already in the 1920s he tried to return to this job, but when he returned, he learned that the agency had become a militant unit for a large businessman who hired staff for a permit union dispute. Hamit (as can be seen in the dictionary) is his partner Lillian To Helman, he was offered $5,000 to kill the won. I'll tell you, I declined, and I had no choice but to write.

Pulp was a novel or a long story written by writers who created a typewriter equivalent to the Fordist production line. It describes the dirty reality of the United States, where all business crosses the underworld and the pulse of society is uneven. He published the novel “Red Harvest”, which takes place in a mine in a town called Personville, and “Red Harvest”, a novel that was staged in a mining town called Personville in 1929, and residents call it Poisonville (city poison). “By choosing the urban environment, Dashiell Hammett contributes to setting the basic rules for starting the United States. Noir: Black is the city itself, it is fascinating, not functional and often represents the category of perpetrators.” The chief detective is an agent of the continent and will later be known to Altar Noir as Sam Spade of Falcon in Malta. Black novels are not about restoring order beyond the results of the investigation, but about the dirty things that the protagonist moves. As long as he talks about reality, the end should not be mitigated.Well, his life alcoholic, since adolescence he is depressed and has negative signs of health Away from writing, not political commitments, but close contact with the American Communist Party in McCarthy In 1951, he was sentenced to jail for belonging to a disruptive organization (called the Civil Rights Congress) and was blacklisted by Hollywood. The US Treasury Department withdrew his copyrights. He died in 1961.

At one point, two lines were built with noir, with Chandler, with a brilliant writer and a writer by Hammett. The contemporary writer (great writer) James Ellroy, quoted in the dictionary, says: “The difference between Hammett and Chandler is that the former is afraid to look like a character, and the latter will like it. This is controversial, but it certainly exists. Lemaitre writes with admiration in love about the first novel, “I have thought a lot about what Hammett proposed, and I practiced both in crime and in historical novels.” Then review some points about the artist's method. His name is at the front door.

And contemporaries? You don't have to be impatient. Everything comes. The record of Ellroy is wonderful because it shines brilliantly in the artist's work, but it describes it as follows: “This man annoys me about his novel and makes me angry...” Because his novel is great! Although Aloy is a super-right citizen, Lamitre says, “In Trump's family photo, Aloy will be on the right side of Clint Eastwood.” La Dalia Negra, LA Confidential, America are examples of how text scenes give new life to cities like Los Angeles, where they nest under the sun and emphasize darkness. Lemaitre loves and hates it.

Contemporaries yet? Lemaitre writes in Breaking Bad, who explains the series brilliantly and at the same time points out why he is praised by a capitalist who succeeds through criminal acts and succeeds in an individualistic way. A few years ago he was shown to be dangerous in successful productions, but finally through competition he portrayed an attentive businessman and citizen figure (remember the owner of Los Pollos Hermanos). It's an interesting reading about this pop culture phenomenon.

More? Lemaitre is tired due to the fault of the Scandinavian police and does not hesitate to sleep, in fact it is more than an ant. The recording of “Nordic Noir” begins as follows: “I have suffered from Scandinavian noir (and Northern Europe in general) because it does not make Iceland and Finland ugly. I rarely say that these authors have made our lives bitter. For me, reading pages 20 of Joe Nesbo left a mark. Really ladies and gentlemen, you have to passionately like the dictionary of black novels. (He dedicates three or four Nordic recordings. Each recording was more refined than the last one).

This was pointed out at first. This is a subjective random dictionary with no paths.And he does everything. Here is a Spanish writer (neither Argentina nor Argentina), Padura, Paco Ignacio Taibo, Luis Sepulveda Akula. This is a grand entry dedicated to the amazing Hannibal Lecter, who was the first novel before the film. And as writers who know exactly those who are good at the genre but do not know, we have their works Read and know. This brings happiness to the reader This is a sketch. Maybe he's the Danish writer Lemaitre. You can get the amount of blood you missed when you meet and tie him up. Is it fair or not? This is a topic that needs to be discussed. Lemaitre will definitely raise the experience to be discussed in the records of the next edition of his dictionary.
