O (nie)egzystencji polskiego kryminału regionalnego. Gatunkowe rozważania z lekkim przymrużeniem oka
Reflections on the (non-)existent. Polish regional crime fiction in the context of the genre

Summary/Abstract: The article sets out to answer the question whether there exists a subgenre of regional crime fiction in Poland. In Europe and particularly in Germany, unlike in Poland, it enjoys considerable popularity among the readers. It stands out not just due to its region-specific geographical features but also certain elements of the narrative, such as dialect. Why is the regional crime fiction in Poland virtually non-existent or adapted to fit other subgenres? Is there any scope for it to come out of the shadows of subgenres such as historical or urban crime fiction? This article pivots around those questions, attempts to outline the structure of regional crime fiction, and introduces an example to demonstrate what Polish novels in this subgenre could aim to be.
