Arnaldur Indridason
　　Iceland
　　Meet Inspector Erlendur. Lugubrious, lonely and brilliant at his job. He tries to patch up failed relationships, most notably with his drug-addict daughter and estranged son, but mostly fails, and sits at home reading about death and desolation. His problems date to his childhood, when his brother disappeared in a blizzard, and Erlendur survived. Decades later, he is still looking for the body – and solving crimes in a country vividly brought to life. Or perhaps vivid is not the best adjective: there is plenty of gloom, harsh living, and bad, bad weather. Wonderful

　　在他的小说中你会碰到一位叫厄兰度的侦探，他孤独而极具侦探天赋。他极力想挽救与吸毒的女儿和疏离的儿子之间失败的关系，然而却依然失败。他独坐时阅读死亡与孤寂。他的问题来自于童年，在一场暴风雪中他的弟弟失踪了，而厄兰度自己却幸存下来。然而在几十年后，他仍在寻找弟弟的尸体——同时在一个刻画生动的国家里解决疑难罪案。也许“生动”这个词用得不好，因为那里充满了阴郁、艰难的生存、还有糟糕糟糕的天气。很精彩~！
　　Henning Mankell
　　Sweden
　　Read some of his non-Wallander novels – for example Depths, The Man from Beijing, or Italian Shoes – and you can see quite how impressive a writer Mankell is, and why he has sold 30m books. But it was the creation of Inspector Kurt Wallander that made Mankell so popular, turned Ystad into a tourist destination and started the phenomenal worldwide interest in Scandinavian crime writing, and gloom. “I’m not sure melancholia is a dominant trait of Swedish or Scandinavian literature,” Mankell has said. There’s plenty of it, though, in the 10 Wallander novels

　　读一读曼凯尔并非以沃蓝德为主角的其他小说，比如《死亡》，《北京来的男人》或《一双意大利鞋子》，你就能了解他是一个多么令人印象深刻的作家，以及为什么他能卖出3000万本小说了。但使曼凯尔声名鹊起的，还是侦探沃蓝德这个人物的创造，而小说中作为场景的Ystad城从此也变成了一个旅游胜地，另外就是他由此开启了北欧犯罪小说在全世界读者中的兴趣——连带其阴郁风格。“我并不确定忧郁是瑞典或北欧文学的一个主导特征，”曼凯尔曾说。但是在他的10本沃蓝德侦探小说中，确实有够料的忧郁成分。
