This article charts the increasing popularity in France of the regional crime novel. The polar's spread from Paris to major provincial cities is initially discussed, and the function of place within crime fiction is examined with specific reference to two writers using Lyon as the scene of crime(s). The current success of provincial publishers of the polar regional is then highlighted, and an attempt is made to assess what the reader is looking for in series (such as those offered by small Breton or Burgundian publishing houses) which concentrate on crime 'in one's own backyard', be it urban, rurbain or rural. Finally a promising field for further exploration is posited, given both the healthy sales of polars a racines which can establish the smallest hamlet on the polar map, and the theories of place image currently being explored by a tourist industry eager to exploit the boom in postmodern literary/heritage tourism. |
