I knew that there were fictional Jewish detectives (thanks to the work of AJL-er Fred Isaac), but now I also know that there are library detectives (which makes sense since real-life librarians solve mysteries frequently - usually not ones involving crime). Victoria Gilbert blogged about 8 of these series back in 2022. Would you believe that there is a hybrid genre, i.e. a character who is both Jewish AND a librarian who solves mysteries? “ Protagonist Israel Armstrong—also one of the few male, and Jewish, protagonists in this literary category—solves crimes while driving an old mobile library along the North Antrim coast.” Steve Bergson, MLIS Toronto, Canada |
