추리소설의 걸작이라는 Y의 비극을 드디어 읽었다. 정통추리소설을 많이 읽어보지 않은지라 그냥 일반소설이라고 생각하고 읽다보니 계속해서 주어지는 상황설명과 인물 설명에 처음에는 집중이 잘 안되기도 했지만 전체적으로 깔끔하고 생각치 못한 반전으로 끝나게 되는 부분에 이르자 아..무려 80년전에 이런 소설이 나온거였구나..이래서 이 작품을 추리소설의 걸작이라고 하는 거구나..라는 인식을 하게 되었다. 범인을 맞추려고 하기 보다는 내용을 그대로 따라갔기 때문에 마지막에 범인에 대해 덤덤히 설명하는 드루리레인의 모습에서 더 큰 카타르시스를 느낄 수 있었던 것 같다. 장르적 소설로 튼튼하고 좋았지만..확실히 80년전 소설이라 그런지 빨아들이는 흡인력은 조금 부족하지 않았나 싶긴 하다. 그리고 여기서 나오는 범인에 대한 설정이 거의 최초라고 하는데..그 후에 무수히 많은 다른 작품들에서 이 소설의 클리셰를 접하게 된 나로서는 감회가 새롭기도 했다.
