Mankell’s Wallander | No Comments
No tag for this post.
Henning Mankell is a Swedish author who has become a very well known figure in crime fiction writing with a popular police detective Kurt Wallander as the central hero. I just got introduced to these novels, some of which have been made into movies by the BBC starring Kenneth Branagh. There is obviously a Swedish film series based on these novels, but I have not got my hands on them yet. The appeal of the novels is not just the suspense and thrill of well written crime mysteries but the depiction of the Colombo like ordinary character of Kurt Wallander, who, despite his brilliance as a detective, has his own faults and makes mistakes. In other words, he is very realistic and is not made out to be some extraordinary hero who can’t do any wrong. The setting for the novels is also a small Swedish town of Ystad in southern Sweden.
