[DeepL Translation - needs review] Keigo Higashino puts an end to full-fledged detective fiction.
A monumental work that marks a major inflection point in his oeuvre.
"The Curse of the Detective, the sequel to The Rules of the Detective, is both a continuation and a conclusion, with the main characters from the previous book returning to solve a new story. In this work, Higashino Keigo presents another new mystery, while also sharing his honest confessions as a writer. Unlike its predecessor...
While researching for his next book an author has a bizarre experience and finds himself in a strange place. Where is he? Why is he dressed in a suit? and why does everyone keep calling him 'detective'?
The "sequel" to 명탐정의 규칙 except the books aren't related beyond both being parodies of the 추리 소설 genre and having a character with the same name.
Both these books have a rare kind of absurdist/parody tone to them, the only comparison I can think of is the Discworld books. I enjoyed both of them
