Description
Boileau-Narcejac’s captivating novels “Death Said: Maybe” and “The Widowers” are excellent examples of the detective genre: original intrigue, sharply plotted suspense, a steady increase in tension, deep psychological analysis of the characters, and a vivid, concise style. The first novel is based on a description of an attempted suicide by a young woman. A tangled web of psychological problems, biographical facts, noble aspirations, and criminal intentions and actions unravels throughout the entire work, and only the unexpected ending ties everything together. In “The Widowers,” a seemingly banal situation is presented—the jealous husband—yet it is resolved in an unusual way: the victim and the criminal become one and the same character. Additional interest comes from the psychological motivation behind the main character’s actions.
Under the name Boileau-Narcejac hid two people—Pierre-Louis Boileau (1906–1989) and Thoma Narcejac—Pierre Eyraud’s pen name (1908–1998). Their collaboration lasted forty years and proved extraordinarily fruitful. The writers portray their characters as victims of real-life circumstances, rather than constructing purely hypothetical detective plots. It’s life itself that torments, torments, and kills the heroes.
