Quick man, if you love me: Dying Detective discussion
Manage episode 306919710 series 2852898
Sherlock Holmes goes to great lengths to catch a killer... and tests the patience of his landlady, his own physical health, and the strength of his friendship with Watson. “The Adventure of the Dying Detective,” from His Last Bow does feel a little out of place - but hear us out for why this story works so well in the earlier years of Holmes and Watson’s friendship.
We discuss biological weaponry, perfect crimes, Sigmund Freud swordfighting on a train, and the powerfully moving and unspoken depths of Holmes and Watson’s care for one another. And Arthur Conan Doyle’s racism. This story is so racist.
Content warning (spoilers coming): Holmes starves himself, fakes delirium and lies to Watson. Medical malpractice, infectious disease and murder abound - as does considerable anti-Asian racism.
