Murder on Ice: Crime and Detection in Scandinavian Literature and Film with Linda Rugg Wednesdays, January 27 - March 3, 2010 9:30-11:30 a.m.
Beginning in the late 1960s with the husband and wife duo Maj Sjöwall and Per Wahlöö, Scandinavian crime writers have commanded a strong position among international readers. How is it that these countries, with their relatively low crime rates and highly civilized and bureaucratic approach to law enforcement, have produced detective fiction that continues to captivate audiences worldwide? This course will examine the works of Sjöwall and Wahlöö, Henning Mankell, Håkan Nesser, and Stieg Larsson (all of Sweden), Karin Fossum (Norway), and Arnaldur Indri_ason (Iceland).
