Tapani:
"I think my own crime novels are the closest thing to noir on
the market here right now. So far I have published three of
them, with the fourth one coming out in 2005."
I haven't yet read the third one, but the first two were
great. Some of these should be translated into English (or
French or Italian or...).
"over the last dozen years I have managed to translate some
novels by Fredric Brown, Lawrence Block, Richard Stark,
Elmore Leonard and E. Richard Johnson"
Yes, I forgot to mention your efforts. Great job! There was
also a translation of Marc Behm's "Eye of the Beholder" and
two translations of James Crumley. James Ellroy does quite
well. Michael Connelly is mighty big in Finland. Dennis
Lehane is being translated and Harlan Coben will be soon.
Sadly the Finnish publisher dropped Pelecanos after "King
Suckerman". Maybe it didn't do very well.
"The Man with the Golden Arm" by Nelson Algren is just coming
out of the presses. The same publisher did the first Finnish
John Fante just recently. Are those considered noir?
