It's was...fine, up until the end. Most of these Dupin stories are just him talking about his methods instead of actually employing them, but the&nbsp;<em>ending</em>&nbsp;of this one is deeply frustrating. Like, I&nbsp;get that Poe was writing well before murder mysteries were an established genre but ending it like &quot;We, the magazine publishing this, don't think it's appropriate to share the details but trust us Dupin totally led the police to the murderer and he was apprehended and everything&quot; is&nbsp;<em>so</em>&nbsp;deeply unsatisfying. It's blatantly ripped from the headlines--there's a whole multiparagraph disclaimer at the end about how the similarities are entirely coincidental etc etc, which you would <em>think </em>was setting up for the reveal of whodunit with the caveat that the fictionalized character is of course <em>not </em>the real person he's based on or whatever, but&nbsp;<em>nooo.</em>&nbsp;<br /><br /><em>The Purloined Letter</em>, also by Poe - Better than Marie Roget but that's a very low bar. A lot of it was Dupin going off on mathematicians for some reason, but he also actually&nbsp;<em>did</em>&nbsp;something&nbsp;<em>and</em>&nbsp;related actual events, which was nice.&nbsp;<br /><br />All in all I think Poe is far better suited to horror and to poetry, though I can see the seeds of what we get in later fictional detectives in these stories, which is kind of fun. Nothing I'll be in a hurry to revisit, though.<br /><br />Not sure this has brought me out of my reading slump but at least I started <em>and </em>finished both stories.<br /><br /><img src="https://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/commentcount?user=starspray&ditemid=268903" width="30" height="12" alt="comment count unavailable" style="vertical-align: middle;"/> comments https://starspray.dreamwidth.org/268903.html books: reading wednesday Homeward Bound - Simon & Garfunkel sleepy public 1 https://starspray.dreamwidth.org/268712.html Tue, 24 Mar 2026 02:24:52 GMT https://starspray.dreamwidth.org/268712.html <strong>Fandom:</strong> Tolkien<br /><strong>Rating:</strong> T<br /><strong>Characters:</strong> Sons of Feanor, Elrond, Feanor, Daeron, various others<br /><strong>Warnings</strong>: n/a<br /><strong>Summary</strong>: After years in L&oacute;rien, Maglor and Maedhros are ready to return to their family and to make something new with their lives--but to move forward, all of F&euml;anor's sons must decide how, or if, they can ever reconcile with their father.<br /><strong>Note: </strong>This fic is a direct sequel to <em>High in the Clean Blue Air</em>. <br /><br /><a href="https://starspray.dreamwidth.org/242457.html">Prologue</a> /&nbsp;<a href="https://starspray.dreamwidth.org/268112.html">Previous Chapter</a>&nbsp;/ <a href="https://starspray.dreamwidth.org/269249.html">Next Chapter<br /><br /></a><span class="cut-wrapper"><span style="display: none;" id="span-cuttag___1" class="cuttag"></span><b class="cut-open">(&nbsp;</b><b class="cut-text"><a href="https://starspray.dreamwidth.org/268712.html#cutid1">Read more...</a></b><b class="cut-close">&nbsp;)</b></span><div style="display: none;" id="div-cuttag___1" aria-live="assertive"></div><p>&nbsp;</p><br /><br /><img src="https://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/commentcount?user=starspray&ditemid=268712" width="30" height="12" alt="comment count unavailable" style="vertical-align: middle;"/> comments https://starspray.dreamwidth.org/268712.html fandom: tolkien fic: through the desert writing: fanfic series: meanwhile the world Bridge Over Troubled Water - Simon & Garfunkel calm public 0 https://starspray.dreamwidth.org/268112.html Fri, 20 Mar 2026 13:48:18 GMT https://starspray.dreamwidth.org/268112.html <strong>Fandom:</strong> Tolkien<br /><strong>Rating:</strong> T<br /><strong>Characters:</strong> Sons of Feanor, Elrond, Feanor, Daeron, various others<br /><strong>Warnings</strong>: n/a<br /><strong>Summary</strong>: After years in L&oacute;rien, Maglor and Maedhros are ready to return to their family and to make something new with their lives--but to move forward, all of F&euml;anor's sons must decide how, or if, they can ever reconcile with their father.<br /><strong>Note: </strong>This fic is a direct sequel to <em>High in the Clean Blue Air</em>. <br /><br /><a href="https://starspray.dreamwidth.org/242457.html">Prologue</a> / <a href="https://starspray.dreamwidth.org/267095.html">Previous Chapter</a>&nbsp;/ <a href="https://starspray.dreamwidth.org/268712.html">Next Chapter</a><br /><p>&nbsp;</p><span class="cut-wrapper"><span style="display: none;" id="span-cuttag___1" class="cuttag"></span><b class="cut-open">(&nbsp;</b><b class="cut-text"><a href="https://starspray.dreamwidth.org/268112.html#cutid1">Read more...</a></b><b class="cut-close">&nbsp;)</b></span><div style="display: none;" id="div-cuttag___1" aria-live="assertive"></div><blockquote class="userstuff"><p>&nbsp;</p></blockquote><br /><br /><img src="https://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/commentcount?user=starspray&ditemid=268112" width="30" height="12" alt="comment count unavailable" style="vertical-align: middle;"/> comments https://starspray.dreamwidth.org/268112.html fandom: tolkien series: meanwhile the world writing: fanfic fic: through the desert Symphony - Josh Groban accomplished public 0 https://starspray.dreamwidth.org/267938.html Thu, 19 Mar 2026 18:36:45 GMT https://starspray.dreamwidth.org/267938.html <strong>Fandom:</strong> Tolkien<br /><strong>Rating:</strong>&nbsp;G<br /><strong>Characters:</strong>&nbsp;Frodo Baggins, Maglor, Celebrimbor<br /><strong>Warnings</strong>: n/a<br /><strong>Summary</strong>: Frodo speaks with Maglor in Minas Tirith.
