6/7/2023 0 Comments Black & blue rankin novel![]() ![]() ![]() In her class notes, our instructor Stefani Nielson calls the book “ post-Christie,” “ British realism noir” and she says that it features a “ working class anti-hero.” ![]() Ian Rankin’s Black and Blue is a fictional detective story, written in 1997 and based firmly in the Scotland of the 1990s. In this case, what it looks like did not matter because this book is one of the books that will be discussed in the late fall class I am taking in Ottawa through Carleton University’s Learning in Retirement program called Classics of Detective Fiction: From the 1960s to Today. ![]() Of course, once you have a book in your hand, it matters not a whit what the cover looks like though the cover may have helped that book find its way into your hands in the first place. I suppose that is what happens to a successful book as it gains some age. This book, however, seems to have had a lot of different looks. I am surprised though I know that different book formats come with different covers. Interesting the number of covers Ian Rankin’s Black and Blue has had. ![]()
