Reviews
" Talking About Detective Fiction is fascinating. It's as rich in characters and literary detail as the novels that have made P. D. James famous . . . Her writing shows a vast knowledge and abiding love for the genre she describes." - USA Today " Talking About Detective Fiction is a short book, but it has heft, and little wonder, given Lady James's literary mastery and deep familiarity with her subject . . . Her literary sensibility-calm observation and exact description-is on ample display here . . . [Detective fiction] is a realm she mastered and over which she graciously reigns." - Wall Street Journal "P. D. James is the undisputed grande dame of the modern mystery . . . She presents an energetic, insightful, and often witty history of the genre." - Boston Globe "Slim as it is, P. D. James's Talking About Detective Fiction has biblical heft. Like her own novels, the style is clean, thoughtful and full of grace. In expounding her ideas on how detective fiction works, James makes fearless reference to everyone from Jane Austen to Evelyn Waugh . . . Incisive." - New York Times Book Review " Talking About Detective Fiction reads like a master class on British mysteries . . . It's hard to imagine a better guide . . . Fans of Baroness James's novels will be rewarded by plenty of insights into how she approaches her chosen profession, as well as some intelligent and well-read discussion of a genre that has perhaps never been more popular." - Christian Science Monitor "An avid book-length essay on the roots, ethics and methods of the detective story . . . James's opinions are often surprising and determinedly contrary . . . Refreshingly outspoken." - New York Times "Anyone who is interested in P. D. James's own fiction will want to read this, but it stands in its own right as a deeper, more thoughtful enquiry into what it is we get out of detective fiction . . . If you want to extend your own reading, discover new authors, or clarify your thoughts, this is an excellent way to do so . . . Elegant and thoughtful." - Independent (London) "It's like sitting across from P. D. James over tea, and that, naturally, is a delight." - Booklist "For crime fiction fans, this master class from one of the leading practitioners of the art will be a real treat." - Publishers Weekly "An amiable, personal appreciation of the genre by someone who has been one of its most accomplished and popular exponents." - The Times (London) , " Talking About Detective Fiction is fascinating.

- v***4 (125)- Feedback lasciato dall'acquirente.Ultimi 6 mesiAcquisto verificatoPurchased 5 car Madison rail car set at auction. Received package well wrapped and in original box. Cars themselves are in excellent condition and mostly as described, although I believe they have seen some track time. That being said, seller offers returns so I'm confident seller was told these cars were new by whomever he got them from. The purchase price was excellent so when averaged with a higher than normal shipping fee it turned out to be an overall good deal.(D) #56W - Williams 43471 O Gauge Custom Pullman 60 Ft. Madison Passenger Cars (N° 146582810107)
- r***9 (869)- Feedback lasciato dall'acquirente.Ultimi 6 mesiAcquisto verificatoAwesome price on this vintage Italeri kit. Seller shipped it quickly at an average cost. The kit arrived safely, very carefully packaged in brand new materials. It was delivered just as it appeared in listing and photos. It was listed as used but really new in an open box complete with the decals and instructions. The kit also included extras, an Edward Models PE detail set and Check Master's engine kit. I'm extremely pleased with my purchase and I highly recommend the seller. Thanks!#83 - ITALERI ACH CHINOOK GUNSHIP 1:72 HELICOPTER MODEL KIT #054 - NIOB (N° 388261291199)
