Christianna Brand's <i>Death of Jezebel</i> (also a locked room with elements that could now be classified as typical Japanese) enjoys a little bit more notoriety within the Western genre, but only few have actually read it and copies are scarce. The only one up for sale, at the moment, comes with a $200 price tag. <br /><br />It's really time these books catches the eyes of publishers like the Rue Morgue Press, Langtail Press or Felony and Mayhem.TomCathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03415176301265218101noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8031063966272508587.post-79494315371061079812011-08-10T21:41:14.268+02:002011-08-10T21:41:14.268+02:00True, the Japanese translation is for us the econo...True, the Japanese translation is for us the economically sensible choice. If not always pleasant. Seriously, I thought the prose was kinda boring to get through the first couple of pages, but then I started reading <i>Kubi</i> and suddenly the differences between the Japanese of the two books became <i>overwhelmingly</i> clear. Reading it in conjunction with a non-translation is not recommended.<br /><br />I'm quite interested in Edogawa's take on the story actually ('cause things can <i>really</i> get crazy then with such a mansion), but as I read Edogawa Rampo relatively often, I expect I'll come across it one day or another.Ho-Linghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04673330638260132388noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8031063966272508587.post-11797590823327310692011-08-10T20:39:45.327+02:002011-08-10T20:39:45.327+02:00I've been fancying with this and/or Ranpo'...I've been fancying with this and/or Ranpo's adaption for quite some time now knowing about the huge influence they had on Japanese mystery fiction.
