In this tightly plotted yet mind-expanding debut novel, an unlikely detective, armed with only an umbrella and a singular handbook, must untangle a string of crimes committed in and through people's dreams. In an unnamed city always slick with rain, Charles Unwin is a humble file clerk working for a huge and imperious detective agency, and all he knows about solving mysteries comes from filing reports for the illustrious investigator Travis Sivart. When Sivart goes missing, and his supervisor turns up murdered, Unwin is suddenly promoted to detective, a rank for which he lacks both the skills and the stomach. His only guidance comes from his new assistant, who would be perfect if she weren't so sleepy, and from the pithy yet profound "Manual of Detection". Unwin mounts his search for Sivart, but is soon framed for murder, pursued by goons and gunmen, and confounded by the infamous femme fatale Cleo Greenwood. Meanwhile, strange and troubling questions proliferate: Why does the mummy at the Municipal Museum have modern-day dental work? Where have all the city's alarm clocks gone? Why is Unwin's copy of the Manual missing Chapter 18? When he discovers that the greatest of Sivart's cases - including 'The Three Deaths of Colonel Baker' and 'The Man who Stole the Twelfth of November' - were never solved correctly, he must enter the dreams of a murdered man and face a criminal mastermind bent on total control of a slumbering city. "The Manual of Detection" will draw comparison to every work of imaginative fiction that ever blew a reader's mind. But, ultimately, it defies comparison; it is a brilliantly conceived, meticulously realised novel that will change what you think about how you think.

レビュー

"Imaginative, fantastical, sometimes inexplicable, labyrinthine and ingenious...Great fun and very clever. My comparison? Flann O'Brien's The Third Policeman - which is about as good as it gets." Observer "a clever, startlingly original blend of fantasy and crime." Waterstone's Books Quarterly "Like Sin City, this is a noir fairytale, with the grey-scale, drizzly streets and shabby cafes contrasted by fluorescent, primary colour characters...Berry's work is reminiscent of the coolest young American novelists - Michael Chabon, Jonathan Lethem, Glen David Gold - in its sheer delight at how genre writing can be re-invigorated and re-imagined. The Manual of Detection makes the weird, fantastical world of the unconsciousness seem comically logical - like its subject, it is a dream." Scotland on Sunday "A wryly cerebral take on noir fiction...Separated conjoined twin gangsters, a duplicitous femme fatale and a nightmarish carnival owner inhabit the nocturnal, rain-soaked city where this clever, postmodern detective story is set." Financial Times "'I was impressed, besotted, and transported by The Manual of Detection. Such a great book!'" Karen Joy Fowler, author of The Jane Austen Book Club and Sister Noon

A post-modernist take on the detective novel

2016年5月3日にフランスでレビュー済み

Amazonで購入

This novels take on the post-modernist style is beginning to feel a bit dated, as if the author wanted to imitated Conan Doyle but was afraid to be too much like that author. It is entertaining, though somewhat self conscious of it.

Mesmerising, sometimes baffling, at moments superb

2009年6月22日に英国でレビュー済み

Amazonで購入

This is a fine book, mesmerising, sometimes baffling, at moments superb. It's brave and different, with enough of the noir to make it clearly a detective story but one that stands apart from others. It has a plot and a resolution. Within lies every sort of strangeness, a boundless unknown, a recognition that the forces of both law and chaos are necessary and yet both shadows. It's about clocks and filing and a man's world turned inside out by seeing a woman in a plaid coat on a platform. Does that make sense? It shouldn't. There's no way to summarise what happens here.

And that is the relief that it affords. That's its pleasure.

I can't recommend it highly enough. It proves that novels do not have all to be the same
