レビュー

" Both the mature and the discerning young choose to pick up one of Crispin's beautifully turned crime novels" The Times "Crispin isn't in it for the mystery, but for the enigmas" Guardian "His books are full of high spirits and excellent jokes, with constant literary allusions and an atmosphere of bibulous good humour. But at times the mood turns darker, and Crispin is capable of passages of both genuine suspense and ingenius deduction" The Daily Telegraph "Crispin is noted for an ability to embellish clever story lines with Marx Brothers touches" New York Times "Rightly elevated to classic status" New York Sun

著者について

Edmund Crispin was the pseudonym of Bruce Montgomery, an English crime writer and composer. He graduated from St John's College, Oxford, in 1943, with a BA in modern languages, having for two years been its organist and choirmaster. From 1943 to 1945 he taught at Shrewsbury School and in 1944 published the first of nine Gervase Fen novels, The Case of the Gilded Fly. He became a well respected reviewer of crime, writing for the Sunday Times from 1967 until his death in 1978. He also composed the music for many of the Carry On films. From the original editions: 'Edmund Crispin's recreations are swimming, excessive smoking, Shakespeare, the operas of Wagner and Strauss, idleness and cats. His antipathies are dogs, the French Film, the Renaissance of the British Film, psychoanalysis, the psychological-realistic crime story and the contemporary theatre.'

クリスピンの作品で一番気に入っている作品です。翻訳本が高すぎて手に入らす、クリスピンの翻訳他の作品の翻訳は古すぎ思い切って原書で読むことにいたしました。納得です。

どのようなルートで届いたのか分かりませんが、スムーズに手元に着きました。商品も綺麗で価格のリーズナブルと思います。

5つ星のうち5.0 A Funny and Well-plotted Romp

The books of Edmund Crispin (also known as film composer Bruce Montgomery) are well-crafted with good puzzles, fair clues and a lot of humour (although some people abhor his use of excessively long words). The humour includes breaking the fourth wall, and often descends into outright farce.

Apart from the puzzles and humour, Crispin is also known for his eccentric characters, and none of his books show this better than ‘Buried for Pleasure.’ It features a nude escapee from a mental institution and also a detective novelist who may or may not be a pastiche of Crispin himself.

Crispin’s detective, Gervase Fen, encounters the author (male), who uses the pseudonym Annette de la Tour, trying to act out a (probably) highly preposterous murder method and discusses crime writing with him. He starts off … ‘And of course’, he said, ‘it must enable you to get to some extent inside the mind of the murderer.’ An expression of mild repugnance appeared on the man’s face. ‘No,’ he said, ‘no, it doesn’t do that.’ The subject seemed painful to him, and Fen felt that he had committed an indiscretion. ‘The fact is,’ the man went on, ‘that I have no interest in the minds of murderers, or for that matter,’ he added rather wildly, ‘in the minds of anyone else. Characterization seems to me a very over-rated element in fiction. I can never see why one should be obliged to have any of it at all, if one doesn’t want to. It limits the form so.’

Ah yes, I feel at home here. Clearly unlike modern-day authors to whom the detective’s domestic problems and personal angst are all-pervasive, I feel I would like to read some of the fictional Annette de la Tour’s works …

I have been reading a number of reviews of the book, and all (both!) seem a little dissatisfied with it. Apart from the long words, the reviewers said that they felt that there were too many extraneous characters, which, though perhaps humorous to read, were not connected to the plot (although I find using humour can often disguise the clues, by being mentioned without any obvious reason except that of humour). Also, one reviewer felt that the clues were not clear enough, the other that they were too obvious!

But I enjoyed the clever (and indeed well-trumpeted) plot twist and the strange characters. I like to people my own books with grotesques so that appeals to me at least!

So it’s clever, wordy, humorous, and puzzling, and I therefore liked just about everything about the book. And it’s thankfully reasonably short unlike many modern books.

But, for me, one problem with Crispin is that, although I usually enjoy trying (unsuccessfully, as likely as not) to unravel any detective author’s mysteries, with Crispin I just like to go with the flow and enjoy the humour, the characters, and the narrative verbiage (er, I may have got that from Crispin …).

5つ星のうち5.0 The plot is rich in amusing and appalling happenings

Oxford don and amateur sleuth Gervase Fen is running for Parliament in a district notoriously apathetic about politics. Fen’s campaign speeches are peculiar and unconventional...

There’s an escaped lunatic in the neighborhood, roving about naked, outraging old ladies...

A young wife has dropped dead from eating a box of poisoned chocolates. This won’t be the last murder either...

Ultimately Fen finds murder more interesting than politics.

First published in 1948, Buried for Pleasure is a very pleasurable read -- especially for fans of Edmund Crispin’s batty and culture-coated style. The mystery is good, and the humor is irresistible.

5つ星のうち4.0 As much farce as mystery
2023年12月19日にアメリカ合衆国でレビュー済み

Buried for pleasure is an amusing entry in Crispin's Gervase Fen mysteries. If you are looking for a detailed mystery, you may be disappointed, as the mystery element is rather weak. The strengths of the novel in my opinion are the ridiculous situations and bizarre characters. Fen decides to run for office and must deal with the eccentric residents of the region where he is running. To me, this is one of the best features of Crispin's writing. Swan Song is my favorite of the Fen novels, as I think it balances the mystery and farce elements beautifully, but I found this a very enjoyable read. Noticeably and thankfully absent are some of what I find more irritating mannerisms of Fen, like saying "Oh my paws and whiskers!" every few pages. Recommended for those who like humor in their mysteries.

5つ星のうち4.0 Wonderful humour
2011年8月19日に英国でレビュー済み

This is my first Crispin, and I was struck by the Wodehouseesque humour throughout. There are many hilarious interludes, but, as a crime novel, there is an inadequate plot and no denouements.
Quirky, dated, unsatisfactory, but worth a read for the many flashes of humour.
