Abstract

The suspense trend in the Brazilian Litera­tura for Youth is largely used and João Carlos Ma­rinho is one of its most important representatives. The present essay deals with the study of his work O gênio do crime, showing how and why this no­vel can be considered a narrative of suspense, pla-ced between the classical mistery novel, and the so called "black series" novel. This study intends al-so to reveal that behind the suspense that touches the young reader, the novel makes as well ironical and good humoured criticism of aspects of our so­cial reality.
