Summary:

"Written during the Italian winter of 1930, The Blue Spill is an unfinished detective novel by Ezra Pound - the leading figure of modernist poetry in the 20th century - and his long-time companion Olga Rudge. Published for the first time in this authoritative critical edition, the novel reflects Pound's voracious reading of popular fiction as it echoes and parodies such writers as Agatha Christie, Dorothy L. Sayers and P.G. Wodehouse. Based on the original manuscripts, this critical edition includes annotation and textual commentary throughout and supporting chapters from leading Pound scholars on the contexts of the novel"-- Provided by publisher.
