Book Reviews: ARC Review Edition #BookReview #NetGalley #Edelweiss #NewBooks

I've been so busy on my off days that I've had little time to blog! I'm still doing plenty of reading, though, so here's a round-up of some books being released this month! #Bookreview #bookstagram #newbooks #netgalley #edelweiss #ARCreview

If you follow Bargain Sleuth Book Reviews, then you know that late last year I got burnt out of all reading, writing, and blogging about books. I’ve slowly gotten back into it, but in order to make this blog not be such a chore and return it back into a fun hobby, I’ve not reviewed every single book I’ve consumed this year here; I have kept up with at least a paragraph on Goodreads and hope to…

Lindsay Duncan, Jeff Fahey, and Kim Delaney in Body Parts (Eric Red, 1991)

Cast: Jeff Fahey, Lindsay Duncan, Kim Delaney, Zakes Mokae, Brad Dourif, John Walsh, Paul Ben-Victor, Peter Murnik. Screenplay: Patricia Herskovic, Joyce Taylor, Eric Red, Norman Snider, based on a novel by Pierre Boileau and Thomas Narcejac. Cinematography: Theo van de Sande. Production design: Bill Brodie. Editing: Anthony Redman. Music: Loek Dikker. 

How can a movie with a car chase, a fight in a barroom, and an abundance of gore turn out so dull? Body Parts is based on an old trope, that of severed members taking on a life of their own. Adaptations of W.W. Jacobs's 1902 story "The Monkey's Paw" are so numerous they have a Wikipedia page of their own and Maurice Renard's 1920 novel Les Mains d'Orlac, about a concert pianist who receives the transplanted hands of a murderer, has been filmed several times, including Robert Wiene's 1924 silent The Hands of Orlac and Karl Freund's 1935 Mad Love, starring Peter Lorre. The many adaptations of Mary Shelley's Frankenstein also play on the notion of reanimated body parts. But it's not that the idea behind Eric Red's movie has been done to death, so to speak, it's that Red and the various screenwriters who worked on the movie find so little new and interesting to do with it. It's adapted from a 1965 novel, Choice Cuts, by the writing team known as Boileau-Narcejac, who provided the source material for some much better movies: Diabolique (aka Les Diaboliques, Henri-Georges Clouzot, 1955) and Vertigo (Alfred Hitchcock, 1958). The acting isn't bad. As Bill Chrushank, a psychiatrist who receives the arm of a murderer after losing his own in an auto accident, Jeff Fahey does a solid job of suggesting the ways the transplant brings out the worst in what may have been his own latent tendencies to violence. Lindsay Duncan plays the surgeon who does the transplant as a cold-blooded scientist with just a touch of hauteur that turns malevolent when her breakthrough technique is threatened. Brad Dourif overacts a little as the artist who receives the other arm and finds that it actually feeds his imagination and produces darkly disturbing paintings that sell. And Kim Delaney does what she can with the role of Chrushank's wife, who bears the brunt of his emotional transformation. But Red's direction never builds suspense, giving us time to anticipate the shocks we expect the material to provide. There's also a completely unearned "happy ending" that saps any lingering tension from what has gone before.

The English word "personification" did not exist prior to the late seventeenth century. It derives from the French verb personnifier which Boileau coined in his Eleventh Reflection on Longinus (Haworth 43). Boileau used the neologism to exonerate Racine from the charge that the playwright was unappropriately lurid in Theramene's recapitulation of Hyppolyte's death scene at the close of Phedre (v.vi). Boileau's defense was built on the fact that Racine was conveying a moment of sublime sentiment, and, more importantly, that the playwright did not "speak the words himself," using instead Theramene as a verbal mask or representative (Haworth 44). Boileau's inkhorn term conveyed no more than the earliest Hellenic conception of the trope as a means for any dramatic presentation of a speech. The new term proved so potent, apparently, that little more than a century later, another French thinker - Pierre Fontanier - saw the need taxonomically to separate la personnification from la prosopopee. Boileau's successful neolatin coinage, however, carried a new conceptual charge alien to the conservative connotations of the word "prosopopeia." According to Foucault and a number of other contemporary thinkers, the concept of the "person" is an invention of the late seventeenth century (Sexuality 17—47; Rorty 17—69; Zimbardo 1—14; Elliott 3—32; Ginsberg ch. 1). A human person was, for thinkers as varied as Montaigne, Descartes, John Locke, or Theophilus Gale, a rational being constituted by an entirely interior psychology, by a discrete, unique, and private consciousness that functioned as its own mechanism of self-definition and regulation. Boileau's engagement of the French word personne, or rather, of the Latin word persona, latched onto a concurrently evolving sense of what a human being was thought to be. As this book has shown, the figurally invented personages that result from personification are anything but realistic or modern "characters." The latter are fictive and simulational human beings, who, according to Rose Zimbardo, are native to literature only after the late seventeenth century and who possess an "internal arena" of soul and psyche (2). Indeed, Zimbardo holds that no fictional character, prior to the time of the English Restoration, was conceived of as an accurate simulacrum of psychological interiority. Such characters were mere ideational effigies. The seventeenth-century conceptual shift concerning personality and mind punctured old expectations of what literary character could be. The term "personification," by dint of its new connotational force, was therefore at odds with the older conception of "prosopopeia." Although both words etymologically mean "to make a face or mask," "prosopopeia" retained that sense of sheer literary game or artifice. "Personification," on the other hand, could have promoted a deep conceptual confusion about its status and value. Literature and drama became more and more taken up with the mimesis of actual human personality — a conceptual property promised but not delivered by the term "personification." This knot of lexical and conceptual confusion may be concomitant upon the trope's imminent historical decay as a serious and powerful means of poetic invention.

-James J. Paxson, The Poetics of Personification pages 171-172.

The film stars James Stewart as former police detective John "Scottie" Ferguson, who has retired because an incident in the line of duty has caused him to develop acrophobia (an extreme fear of heights) and vertigo, a false sense of rotational movement. Scottie is hired by an acquaintance, Gavin Elster, as a private investigator to follow Gavin's wife Madeleine (Kim Novak), who is behaving strangely.

Stranger on the Third Floor inhabits the creepier side of, shall we say horror-adjacent, film noir. In fact, some experts argue that it is the first example of that dark genre, later to be labeled film noir. It’s a nightmare-influenced murder mystery featuring Peter Lorre chewing on all the scenery he can. Boris Ingster directs Stranger on the Third Floor with all the style that feels as if it could have been an early Val Lewton production. Yup, it’s Hollywood expressionism, RKO-style. This film is worth the watch, even if only for two 7-minute scenes: the nightmare sequence and the interaction between The Stranger (Lorre) and Jane (Margaret Tallichet).

If you have the urge to view this early example of noir filmmaking (or is it “proto-noir?”), and decide for yourself if it is truly horror-adjacent, Stranger on the Third Floor is, at the time of this writing, available to stream from archive.org or PPV from iTunes. There is also a Warner Brothers DVD available if physical media is your preference.

Vertigo (1958), US Movie Poster

Artist: Saul Bass (1920-1996).

Unframed: 41 x 27 in. (104 x 69 cm). Framed: 47 1/2 x 33 in. (120.6 x 84 cm).

The image on this poster is the most recognisable and iconic of all Saul Bass's designs. This is one of the best examples of this poster to surface in many years, as the colour is exceptionally vivid. The majority of pieces that have surfaced are more orange in colour, and not as red as this piece.

This is the fourth and final time that James Stewart would work with Alfred Hitchcock, in one of his best loved thrillers. The mood of the film was greatly enhanced by the score, which was written by Bernard Herrmann.

AUTHOR EXTRAORDINAIRE

'Maybe the hardest thing in writing is simply to tell the truth about things as we see them.'

'Boileau said that Kings, Gods and Heroes only were fit subjects for literature. The writer can only write about what he admires. Present-day kings aren't very inspiring, the gods are on a vacation and about the only heroes left are the scientists and the poor.'

'If there is a magic in story writing, and I am convinced that there is, no one has ever been able to reduce it to a recipe that can be passed from one person to another. The formula seems to lie solely in the aching urge of the writer to convey something he feels important to the reader. If the writer has that urge, he may sometimes but by no means always find the way to do it.'

'The craft or art of writing is the clumsy attempt to find symbols for the wordlessness.'

Author Extraordinaire John Steinbeck

Các thể loại trinh thám (Mystery/Crime fiction)

Thuật ngữ được giữ nguyên để dễ tra cứu. 🧩 cozy: thể loại trinh thám nhẹ nhàng, các chi tiết thô tục, tình dục, bạo lực đều bị loại bỏ. ví dụ: series bà Marple của Dame Agatha Christie. 🗝️ locked room: tội ác được thực hiện theo một cách bất khả thi, ví dụ như trong phòng kín. ví dụ: Bí mật căn phòng vàng (Gaston Leroux), Cánh cửa thứ 4, Giả thuyết thứ 7 (Paul Halter), Sáu tội ác không có hung thủ (Pierre Boileau), Tokyo hoàng đạo án (Soji Shimada)

🔍 whodunit: thể loại phổ biến nhất, với một cốt truyện phức tạp, nhiều manh mối rải rác. Người đọc có thể đoán thủ phạm trước khi đáp án được công bố ở đoạn kết. ví dụ: series Sherlock Holmes của Sir Conan Doyle, series Hercule Poirot của Dame Agatha Christie. 🔎 howcatchem: người đọc đã biết trước thủ phạm là ai và toàn bộ nội dung truyện chỉ xoay quanh việc thủ phạm bị lật tẩy như thế nào. ví dụ: Phía sau nghi can X (Higashino Keigo), Death Note (Tsugumi Ohba & Takeshi Obata) 📜 historical: vụ án được đặt trong bối cảnh lịch sử nhất định. ví dụ: Địch Công kỳ án (Robert Van Gulik), Tên của đóa hồng (Umberto Eco) 🎲 hardboiled: đậm đặc bạo lực và/hoặc tình dục; nhân vật chính thường phải trải qua nguy hiểm chết người, nhưng luôn có trai đẹp hoặc gái xinh bên cạnh. Và kiểu gì cũng có vài cảnh nóng. ví dụ: series Philip Marlowe của Raymond Chandler, series Sam Spade của Dashiell Hammett, series Mike Hammer của Mickey Spillane. ♟️ noir: thể loại gần gũi với hardboiled, bối cảnh tăm tối, thiên về tâm lý hơn hành động, nhân vật chính thường là nạn nhân, nghi phạm hoặc hung thủ. Thường không có kết thúc tốt đẹp gì. ví dụ: Theo em vào bóng đêm, Kết hôn với người chết (Cornell Woolrich), Đảo kinh hoàng, Dòng sông Kỳ Bí (Dennis Lehane) 🚔 police procedural: điều tra viên là cảnh sát. ví dụ: series Adamsberg của Fred Vargas, series Kamenskaya của Alexandra Marinina. 🕵️‍♂️ private investigator/detective: điều tra viên là thám tử tư. ví dụ: quá nhiều, khỏi cần ví dụ. 🔬 forensic: điều tra viên thường là nhân viên giám định hoặc bác sĩ pháp y, phá án dựa vào các bằng chứng trên tử thi hoặc hiện trường vụ án. ví dụ: series Lincoln Rhyme của Jeffery Deaver, series Kay Scarpetta của Patricia Cornwell, series Rizzoli & Isles của Tess Gerritsen. ⚖️ courtroom: bối cảnh pháp đình, người đọc có thể biết trước các nghi phạm và theo dõi các chi tiết của vụ án được tiết lộ trong phiên tòa. Thường sử dụng thủ pháp hồi tưởng. ví dụ: series Perry Mason của Erle Stanley Gardner. 👓 legal: các nhân vật chính là luật sư, công tố viên, thẩm phán, v.v. bối cảnh không nhất định chỉ ở trong tòa án như thể loại courtroom. ví dụ: Thân chủ, Công ty rửa tiền, Bồi thẩm đoàn chạy trốn (John Grisham) 🍸 spy: các nhân vật chính là điệp viên, thường làm việc cho các cơ quan tình báo. ví dụ: Điệp viên từ miền đất lạnh (John le Carré), Kẻ giết mướn Jackal (Frederick Forsyth), Sáu ngày của Condor (James Grady), Sòng bạc hoàng gia (Ian Fleming) 💸 caper/heist: được kể từ quan điểm của tội phạm, thường nói về 1 hoặc nhiều vụ trộm cắp, lừa đảo, bắt cóc, có thể có yếu tố hài hước. ví dụ: Cả thế gian trong túi (James Hadley Chase), Nếu còn có ngày mai (Sidney Sheldon) 🔫 gangster: bối cảnh là cuộc chiến giữa các băng đảng, tổ chức tội phạm, xã hội đen, có quy mô lớn hơn các tội ác cá nhân, thường tập trung vào đấu trí và hành động hơn là tâm lý, có thể kết hợp với noir hoặc hardboiled. ví dụ: Bố Già và một số tiểu thuyết khác của Mario Puzo. 🔐 code-cracking: vụ án có đầu mối là các mật mã, biểu tượng do hung thủ hoặc nạn nhân để lại, là mấu chốt để phá án. Có thể kết hợp với thể loại giải mã chúc thư hoặc đi tìm kho báu. ví dụ : Những hình nhân nhảy múa (Sir Conan Doyle), Vụ án trường Oxford (Guillermo Martinez), series Robert Langdon của Dan Brown. 🧠 psychological: vụ án có yếu tố tâm lý học, thường nói về cuộc đấu trí giữa điều tra viên và kẻ giết người (hàng loạt). ví dụ: series Hannibal Lecter của Thomas Harris, series Phương Mộc của Lôi Mễ. 👻 supernatural: vụ án có yếu tố siêu nhiên. ví dụ: Giao lộ sinh tử (Dean Koontz), series X-Files (viết dựa trên kịch bản phim) 👣 suspense/thriller: truyện có yếu tố hồi hộp, giật gân, có thể pha trộn các thể loại hành động, phiêu lưu hoặc trinh thám, bí ẩn, đôi khi là cả kinh dị, nhưng không nhất thiết phải bao gồm tội ác cũng như quá trình điều tra. ví dụ: Misery (Stephen King), Rebecca (Daphne du Maurier), Trước lúc ngủ say (S. J. Watson) ☠️ true crime: được viết dựa trên tội ác có thật. ví dụ: Máu lạnh (Truman Capote), Người vô tội (John Grisham), Quá trễ để nói lời từ biệt (Ann Rule) 💡 juvenile: trinh thám dành cho thiếu nhi, với nhân vật chính là điều tra viên nhỏ tuổi. ví dụ: Tứ quái TKKG (Stefan Wolf), Ba thám tử trẻ (Robert Arthur và nhiều tác giả khác), Kỳ án chim dẽ giun (Alan Bradley) và các cuốn cùng series Flavia de Luce, series Theodore Boone của John Grisham. 🐕‍🦺 animal: nhân vật chính là động vật, có thể phá án trong thế giới động vật hoặc thế giới con người. ví dụ: Thám tử Freddy, Freddy và kẻ mặt mịt (Walter Brooks), Felidae (Akif Pirinçci) - chưa được dịch sang tiếng Việt, viết về chú mèo điều tra những vụ giết mèo hàng loạt, đã được dựng phim, Three Bags Full (Leonie Swann) - chưa được dịch sang tiếng Việt, viết về chú cừu đi tìm chân tướng vụ sát hại người chăn cừu. 🐾 parody/spoof: được viết để giễu nhại trinh thám truyền thống, thường mang tính chất hài hước, châm biếm. ví dụ: Cái lò gạch bí mật (Nguyễn Công Hoan). Phim thì có Naked Gun, Pink Panther, Johnny English. còn thể loại trinh thám pha yếu tố lãng mạn nữa, nhưng không thích nên không xếp vào đây.
