STORYTOURIST. I höst romandebuterade Moa Gammel Ginsburg med Gertrud – en Los Angeles-baserad 2000-talstolkning av Söderbergs klassiska drama med samma namn. Originalverket är lätt att känna igen, samtidigt som makt och sorg fått en mer central roll.

STORYTOURIST. Many investigative methods, such as the analysis of ashes, mud and gunpowder appeared in Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s books about Sherlock Holmes before they were used in criminal investigations. What’s more, a number of criminologists have credited the famous detective stories as a catalyst for their research.

We spoke to psychologist and crime writer Helena Kubicek Boye about the duality of mankind.
