06.08: The Great Detective

2015-05-18 22:04:43| Powells Books Events Calendar

More than a century after Sherlock Holmes first capered into our world, what is it about Arthur Conan Doyle's peculiar creation that continues to fascinate us? Journalist and lifelong Sherlock fan Zach Dundas set out to find the answer. The result is The Great Detective (Houghton Mifflin), a wickedly smart history of an idea, a biography of someone who never lived, a tour of the borderland between reality and fiction, and a joyful romp through the world Conan Doyle bequeathed us. Through sparkling new readings of the original stories, Dundas unearths the inspiration behind Holmes and reveals how Conan Doyle's tales laid the groundwork for an infinitely remixable myth.
