http://w1.neuronnexion.fr/~bthierry/lecoindupolar/frame01.htm
this is the site of the best web site ever and anywhere about
Le Polar (i.e. the Mystery Novel)...this site is in French
but will provide you with the most intelligent and pertinent
analysis and the most exhaustive research on any genre of the
larger spectrum called "mystery novel" and you will find also
many extremely useful links...many in english of course and
any info on any author you wish including Jerome Charyn, who
lives in France and publishes a lot there and not only
Mysteries....but also comic books (as someone mentioned) and
also has become somehow an authority on the US and is asked
for comments on politics or socio-eco US life by newpaperss
such as Lib鲡tion or the Herald Tribune in Paris...
Also the Mystery Guide (in English and excellent too) has him
in its roster...I just checked...
If you want to know everything available from him from a
french internet
'store' (and they will list you everything available in any
major language) go to www.alapage.com it is an excellent
store with a great reputation for things like books and
cd's...and searching helps one find out what has been
published in his case on both sides of the big pond...and
sometimes these publications are not the same...i use it
often to check on what has been published abroad by US
authors and they sometimes publish in Euro some things that
are not published here...since interests and sensibilities
are, especially in the field of 'Murder Mysteries' very
different. In that respect Charyn has always been a US star
in France and is recognized as a litterary entity, when he's
at best marginal here in the States...
