2020 (English)In: Transnational Crime Fiction: Mobility, Borders and Detection / [ed] Maarit Piipponen, Helen Mäntymäki, Marinella Rodi-Risberg, Cham: Palgrave Macmillan, 2020, p. 243-259Chapter in book (Refereed)
Abstract [en]

Salmose offers an informed heteromedial analysis of how cinema has affected the narrative style and form of Norwegian crime writer Jo Nesbø’s acclaimed novel The Snowman (2007), accounting for its commercial and aesthetic achievement. He claims that the crossing between media borders has until now been under-researched in scholarship. Basing his analytical method on intermedial theory and recent work on cinema writing, Salmose performs a close reading of The Snowman that illustrates how Nesbø represents a modern author writing for contemporary readers, incorporating the multimedial landscape that is the reality and the preference of the twenty-first century. The Snowman, argues Salmose, displays extensive mobility, crossing borders of genre, media and focalisation as well as the natural and supernatural in an almost frantic manner.
