It's already the third outing for Europolar!
In a few short months, we have eagerly discussed many themes from a number of perspectives, the result of our intense and intensively polycultural spirit. The pan-European mission of Europolar grows with every edition and, yet again, we are happy to offer our readers a diversity of viewpoints.
Europolar number 3 provides reviews of 10 new crime novels - 3 German, 3 Italian, three Spanish and one French and a Finish review dedicated to crime fiction. There are interviews by authors, Frederic H. Farjardie and Gonzalez Ledesma and a Spanish essay about definitions of the roman noir. The Belgian writer Nadine Monfils introduces her story 'The House on Youngman Street' and we present the Gijon annual crime fiction festival as well as the archives of the crime fiction bookshop in Berlin, Hammett. Under the heading of 'Tribune', Etienne Borgers, Giovanni Zucca and Ettore Maggi tussle with the topic of memory.
Before you enter the European space of crime fiction and make the most of some new thoughts from the 'other' European union, the editorial board would like to ask its readers, amateur specialists and polyglot connaisseurs, to contribute to the running of Europolar. For in order to give you the widest range of texts as well as maintaining the highest standards of translation and intercultural awareness, we need translators interested in the Europolar project. We would welcome contributions from any and every area of specialism. Europolar Needs You!
