About the book

John Sutherland's The Folio Book of Literary Puzzles approaches classic fiction with the curiosity of a detective. Apparent inconsistencies, unexplained motives and small details become invitations to reread familiar novels more closely. Drawing on his literary detective essays, Sutherland asks questions that combine playful speculation with serious attention to what authors actually wrote. The essays investigate the hidden difficulties of storytelling and the surprises that can remain inside well-known books, making close reading part of the pleasure of a good mystery.
