Description

From the Sino-Japanese perspective, the mystery novel is an import, and something that arrived from the West. In both countries, with translation, the mystery novel became extremely popular, and in the 1920s, attempts were made at creating indigenous mysteries. Periodicals devoted to mysteries began to be published: in China, Zhentan shijie 偵探世界, Banyue 半月, and Ziluolan 紫羅蘭, and in Japan, Shinseinen 新青年. This paper explores the reception phases of the mystery novel through an examination of the readers’ submissions published in these various magazines. In comparing the creative conditions of the two countries, Japan succeeded in developing younger writers through literary awards, while in China, the authors never succeeded in mastering the structure of the mystery novel, and were troubled with the production of this new literary genre. The authors who never conquered the “modern novel” become distinct.
