This book establishes the genealogy of a subgenre of crime fiction that Antoine Dechêne calls the metacognitive mystery tale. It delineates a corpus of texts presenting 'unreadable' mysteries which under the deceptively monolithic appearance of subverting traditional detective story conventions offer a multiplicity of motifs - the overwhelming presence of chance the unfulfilled quest for knowledge the urban stroller lost in a labyrinthine text - that generate a vast array of epistemological and ontological uncertainties. Analysing the works of a wide variety of authors including Edgar Allan Poe Jorge Luis Borges and Henry James this book is vital reading for scholars of detective fiction.
