Book summary

Media reviews

"Professor Irwin has written, in a most engaging style, an expansive and compelling study of Poe and Borges. Poe's Dupin stories, both paradigmatic of analytic detective fiction and serious literature, are the ground for Irwin's exploration of the essential embrace of lucid anaysis and opaque mystery. His comments should be fascinating not only to scholars in the field, but to mystery writer and reader as well."
