Scandinavian noir : ウィキペディア英語版 | Scandinavian noir Scandinavian noir or Scandinavian crime fiction, also called Nordic noir, is a genre comprising crime fiction written in Scandinavia with certain common characteristics, typically in a realistic style with a dark, morally complex mood. According to one critic, "Nordic crime fiction carries a more respectable cachet... than similar genre fiction produced in Britain or the US". Language, heroes and settings are three commonalities in the genre, which features plain, direct writing style without metaphor. The novels are often of the police procedural subgenre, focusing on the monotonous, day-to-day work of police, though not always involving the simultaneous investigation of several crimes. Examples include ''The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo'' and its sequels by Stieg Larsson, and Henning Mankell's Kurt Wallander detective series. ==Common features== Some critics attribute the genre's success to a distinctive and appealing style, "realistic, simple and precise…and stripped of unnecessary words".〔 Their protagonists are typically detectives worn down by cares and far from simply heroic.〔 The works also owe something to Scandinavia's political system where the apparent equality, social justice, and liberalism of the Nordic model is seen to cover up dark secrets and hidden hatreds. Stieg Larsson's ''Millennium'' trilogy, for example, deals with misogyny and rape, while Henning Mankell's ''Faceless Killers'' focuses on Sweden’s failure to integrate its immigrant population.〔〔Marc Sidwell, ("Sweden turns the page and Scandinavian noir explains why" ), City AM, August 28, 2012〕
