Walton, Jo : Farthing
(Tor 0-765-31421-5, $25.95, 319pp, hardcover, August 2006)
SF alternate history novel, the author's first novel since her World Fantasy Award winning Tooth and Claw (2003). This book is set in alternate 1949 in which Nazi Germany has won control of the European continent. The story concerns a gathering at a country estate called Farthing, where a murder takes place.
С сайта автора:
2. So, what genre is Farthing?
A. It's an alternate history mystery. I think that makes it SF.
3. What alternate history is it? Not boring old WWII, I hope?
A. Yes, WWII. It's set in Britain in a 1949 where WWII ended in May 1941, with the Hess mission, at the end of the Blitz. Socially, this means that in many ways the thirties are still going on. The Continent is dominated by the Nazis, from the Channel to the Ukraine, where the Nazis are still slogging it out with the Soviets.
4. So, is it about that?
A. It's about a murder that happens in a house party.
5. Did you leave out the Holocaust?
A. No, the Holocaust is absolutely central. I've been describing it as a cosy mystery, with fascists.
6. Does the book have "political relevance" then?
A. I prefer to think of applicability. I certainly wouldn't have written it if I hadn't been absolutely white hot furious about current politics.
Какой интересный европоцентризм, однако. Или даже англоцентризм. ВМВ закончилась, типа, в мае 1941 сдачей Англии (про ее обширные колонии ни слова, кстати), а где-то на задворках мира (за Украиной) Наци все еще утомительно возятся с Советами.
Впрочем, это еще и детектив-"кози", т.е. там не должно быть явных сцен насилия или секса, а расследование должен вести сыщик-любитель. Яркий пример "кози" - книги Агаты Кристи. А вот здесь, значит, "кози" с фашистами. И с Холокостом, который при этом "absolutely central". Хмм.
