An in-joke from The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo
by Oline H. Cogdill
March 19th, 2009I always get a kick out of seeing those little inside jokes in mysteries.
Linda Fairstein always has a tribute to her husband in each of her novels.
Alafair Burke once had one of her characters call Louisiana police detective Dave Robicheaux, the hero of James Lee Burke’s series. James Lee and Alafair Burke, as you well know, are father and daughter.
One of the latest in-jokes I came across was in the late Stieg Larsson’s brilliant The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo.
I recently listened to Larsson’s debut on audio (I also read it last year).
During the course of the novel, the lead character, disgraced journalist Mikael Blomkvist reads to relax.
Don’t we all.
One of the novels Blomkvist reads is Val McDermid’s Wire in the Blood and he also offers a little (positive) review.
As soon as he is done with McDermid’s novel, Blomkvist picks up a novel by Sara Paretsky.
It works because Blomkvist is an intelligent, articulate and well-read man. So naturally he reads mysteries.
Any inside jokes or homages to other authors that you’ve seen lately?
