江戶川亂步的偵探小說
By 江戶川亂步海鴿成立四分之一世紀‧紀念 探偵事務所 ◎ 沒有江戶川亂步，就沒有日本推理小說！ ◎ 東野圭吾、三島由紀夫、橫溝正史、松本清張 深受影響 ◎ 「江戶川亂步賞」 日本推理小說作家一生一定要得的獎項 ■沒有江戶川亂步，就沒有日本推理小說！ 江戶川亂步（1894～1965），本名平井太郎，「江戶川亂步」是筆名，日文讀音是「埃德加‧愛倫‧坡」，毫無疑問是對美國作家埃德加‧愛倫‧坡致敬。在幾十年的創作中，江戶川亂步逐漸成為日本文壇的「愛倫‧坡」——至少是在推理小說領域。如今，江戶川亂步已經被公認為日本「偵探推理小說之父」，與松本清張、橫溝正史並稱為「日本推理文壇三大高峰」。 ■東野圭吾、三島由紀夫、橫溝正史、松本清張 深受影響！ 來自歐美的偵探小說，在引入日本後不久，改稱為「推理小說」，其宣導者就是江戶川亂步。他認為，探案的關鍵以及案情進展的脈絡是推理，所以叫做「推理小說」更準確。這個名稱的改變，對於日本偵探小說家的創作是有影響的。縱觀日本偵探小說作品，不難發現對「推理」的偏愛，相應地，日本偵探小說往往沉浸在理性之中，帶有冷靜和安靜的氣質，這在松本清張、島田莊司、東野圭吾等人作品中都能感受到。 ■江戶川亂步的作品，無論再讀幾次，都不失它的新鮮味！ 江戶川亂步的作品風格多樣，本格與變格、社會派與新本格，都來自於江戶川亂步。像愛倫‧坡一樣，他既有情節奇特甚至怪異的作品，也有具備強烈現實感的作品，有時候兩種特徵雜糅無礙。這種創作特色，一方面來自於個性和才華，一方面來自於豐富的社會閱歷。他有學者的素質，在犯罪學方面造詣頗深，有「日本福爾摩斯」之名。豐富的閱歷，使其小說內容紮實，真實可感。
