About This Novel
"Crime Novels" collects seven of Tanizaki Junichiro's most representative crime stories. Compared with reasoning analysis and criminal techniques, Junichiro Tanizaki is more interested in the mysteries and secrets in daily life. In the process of searching for answers, unexpected criminal motives are revealed. His monologue-style criminal murmurs, indulgent sensory sketches, and gaze and thinking on the abyss of human nature and the dark side of the world all demonstrate Tanizaki's boundary exploration and style development in the field of crime literature, and he is praised as the origin of Japanese crime literature. This anthology includes "I", a piece that Junichiro Tanizaki is proud of, and "On the Road", which Edogawa Ranpo, the father of Japanese mystery novels, said "marked an era for detective novels". The works in this book also make many breakthroughs in novel techniques. There are confessional narratives with split personalities, dialogue novels in the form of scripts, and multiple structures that cleverly nest real life and opera stories. They are all of great pioneering significance in the history of literature.
