A Murderer on Mysteries and Critics

Juan Pablo Castel, the painter, murderer and narrator of Ernesto's Sabato's The Tunnel has little time for critics

(Critics are) a plague I have never understood. If I were a great surgeon, and some fellow who had never held a scalpel in his hand, who was not a doctor, and who had never so much as put a splint on a cat's paw, tried to point out where I had gone wrong in my operation, what would people think?

Later, Castel is trapped at tea with two people he feels to be "frivolous, totally superficial idiots," his rival in love, Hunter, and 'inane' Mimi.

Now they were talking about mystery novels: I heard the woman asking Hunter whether he had read the latest novel of the Seventh Circle series.

"Why?" Hunter asked. "All detective stories are alike. One a year might be condoned. But one a week indicates very little imagination on the part of the reader."

Mimi was indignant. That is, she pretended to be indignant.

"Don't be silly," she said. "Mystery stories are the only only kind of novel I can bring myself to read. I mean, they are enchanting! Everything is so complicated and there are those marvelous detectives who know everything from Ming dynasty art, graphology, archaeology, palmistry, and political sciece to statistics about raising rabbits in India. I adore it when they are so infallible. Don't you agree?"
