新潮社より2025年2月刊行『謎ときエドガー・アラン・ポー—知られざる未解決殺人事件—』の英語版。米文学史に名を刻む天才作家にして「推理小説の始祖」ポーは、なぜある時から突然、推理小説を書くのをやめたのか？　世界最高峰のミステリ賞〈エドガー賞〉（評論・評伝部門）で日本人初の最終候補、『謎ときサリンジャー』で小林秀雄賞受賞の稀代の〈文学探偵〉による世紀の「発見」とは。作家解釈をも揺るがす震撼の論考。The genius of Edgar Allan Poe extends far beyond his groundbreaking creation of Auguste Dupin, which laid the foundation for detective fiction. What remains little known is that Poe envisioned an even more sophisticated form of the genre. Works in this form take an innovative approach, allowing the reader, rather than a fictional detective, to uncover and solve hidden murders. In 1844, as the Dupin stories concluded, Poe published two lesser-known works, "Thou Art the Man" and "A Tale of the Ragged Mountains." These stories reflect his ambition to engage readers in a game of wits with himself. This study endeavors to rise to his challenge and unravel the perfect crimes-hidden for nearly two centuries-within these tales.
