- Abstract
Emerging in the 19th century, detective fiction is a literary genre that glorifies reason and analytical thinking. It is also possible to read "The Murder on Morgue Street", the first example of detective fiction written by Edgar Allan Poe in 1841, as a text describing the analytical thinking method. In addition, detective literature includes works that depict crime, which is a social phenomenon. In this literary genre, which does not have a single and precise definition, the definition of crime and the criminal varies according to the period and the author. The unchanging element of detective literature, which has changed and diversified until today, is rationality. The quality of detective fiction that relies on reason brings with it a contradiction. Because crime fiction examines the concepts of crime, which reflect an irrational reality, with a rational analysis method. The works of Ahmet Karcılılar, one of the representatives of the detective genre in Turkish literature, question and deepen these concepts. The author's latest novel, "The Rejection of Blue" (Mavinin Reddi), published in 2016, presents a unique example of detective fiction with its aspect linking art and crime, while conveying the investigator's point of view in all its aspects. In "The Rejection of Blue" (Mavinin Reddi), a classic Karcılılar detective story, different readings of a painting merge with the investigation of a shady death. In this work, which is the testimony of a police officer, the narrator is the police officer Nedim Elermiş. In this study, the appearance of crime in the detective work "The Rejection of Blue" (Mavinin Reddi) will be evaluated. The elements that shape the appearance of crime in the work are Nedim's life, fictions, and paintings. The point where these elements come together is Nedim's desire for understanding. As a result of the study, it is revealed that "The Rejection of Blue" (Mavinin Reddi), with its quality that shakes the aspect of detective literature that relies on reason, is a work that suggests that crime is like a work of art and is shaped according to its receiver.
