Queering Agatha Christie
This book is the first fully theorized queer reading of a Golden Age British crime writer. Agatha Christie was the most commercially successful novelist of the twentieth century, and her fiction remains popular. She created such memorable characters as Hercule Poirot and Jane Marple, and has become synonymous with a nostalgic, conservative tradition of crime fiction. J.C.

After considering Christie’s emergence in a commercial market hostile to her sex, in Queering Agatha Christie Bernthal explores homophobic stereotypes, gender performativity, queer children, and masquerade in key texts published between 1920 and 1952. Christie engaged with debates around human identity in a unique historical period affected by two world wars. The final chapter considers twenty-first century Poirot and Marple adaptations, with visible LGBT characters, and poses the question: might the books be queerer?

The World of Agatha Christie
Denne boken tar for seg livet til Agatha Christie, hennes arbeider og tiden hun levde i. Christie bragte krim-sjangeren videre, og hun la grunnlaget for detektivromanens gullalder. Flere av hennes historier har blitt klassikere. Selv var hun en diskret og dannet kvinne som unngikk oppmerksomhet, men livet hennes var langt fra kjedelig. Hun reiste mye og hun skapte store overskrifter da hun forsvant i 1926. Boka er lett tilgjengelig og har en mengde illustrasjoner. Den henvender seg både til dem som har studert Christie, til dem som har blitt kjent med henne via filmatiseringer og til dem som har gledet seg over hennes spennende bøker.
