Magazine devotes issue to non-Scandinavian crime fiction

The backlash is on. "You'll find no dragon tattoos or icy fjords here," proclaims this month's issue of Words Without Borders, a publication whose contributors in the past have included your humble blogkeeper, writing about Carlo Lucarelli. "This month we're defying current trends and publishing crime stories from everywhere but Scandinavia."

You'll find writing here from South Korea, Brazil, Mauritius, and Morocco, among other places. You'll find crime comics and piece about Bitter Lemon Press, that fine publisher of translated crime fiction, and selections from Andrea Camilleri's "Mafia Dictionary."

So why not take a look and do what you can to support crime writing not from Scandinavia.
