He's a tough guy, burly ex-soldier with half a leg missing, but he also went to Oxford, so he can translate a Latin phrase before he dislocates your jaw with his fist (...) There are so many problems with The Silkworm, least of all the complete lack of pace or intrigue (...) if Rowling was actually a man called Robert Galbraith, she probably wouldn't get away with describing so many women as "curvaceous" and adorning them with "clinging " dresses. (Hamilton 46) The quotation comes from a rather ironic review of the second instalment of Robert Galbraith's detective series, The Silkworm, by Ben Hamilton, published in The Spectator.

  • The Silkworm by Robert Galbraith Abou
    The Silkworm by Robert Galbraith __________________________________________________________________________________________ About the author: Robert Galbraith is a pseudonym for J.K. Rowling, author of the Harry Potter series. When asked why she chose to write under a pseudonym and as a man, J.K. Rowling answered: “To begin with I was yearning to go back to the beginning of a writing career in this new genre, to work without hype or expectation and to receive totally unvarnished feedback. It was a fantastic experience and I only wish it could have gone on a little longer than it did. I was grateful at the time for all the feedback from publishers and readers, and for some great reviews. Being Robert Galbraith was all about the work, which is my favourite part of being a writer. Now my cover has been blown, I plan to continue to write as Robert to keep the distinction from other writing. I certainly wanted to take my writing persona as far away as possible from me, so a male pseudonym seemed a good idea. I chose Robert because it is one of my favourite men’s names, because Robert F. Kennedy is my hero and because, mercifully, I hadn’t used it for any of the characters in the Potter series or The Casual Vacancy. Galbraith came about for a slightly odd reason. When I was a child, I really wanted to be called ‘Ella Galbraith’, and I’ve no idea why. I don’t even know how I knew that the surname existed, because I can’t remember ever meeting anyone with it.

  • Cormoran Strike – the Unconventional Household Name
    CORMORAN STRIKE – THE UNCONVENTIONAL HOUSEHOLD NAME S. LAVANYA Assistant Professor of English, Sri Sarada College for Women Salem, Tamilnadu, INDIA Robert Galbraith is the pseudonym of the famed J.K. Rowling. Rowling has adopted a male pseudonym to write her detective fiction. Her first novel under the pseudonym was The Cuckoo’s Calling (2013). It is the first novel of the Cormoran Strike series and this was followed by two more novels The Silkworm (2014) and Career of Evil (2015). When asked about her favourite of the three novels, Rowling answered as follows: “I have loved writing all the books so far, but I think the latest, Career of Evil, has to be my favourite. It was an incredible amount of work, but I thoroughly enjoyed developing the plot, whilst giving the reader a little more about Strike and Robin. It was fun too weaving in the great lyrics of Blue Oyster Cult” (robert-galbraith.com). And as she has said, we get a more about Robin in this novel and about the kind of work Strike did when he was in the SIB. Career of Evil is a pure hard-boiled detective fiction which deals about a serial killer. The aim of this paper is to critically analyse the novel Career of Evil which made Cormoran Strike, a household name. INTRODUCTION Detective Fiction is one of the genres with a large number of readers where the central theme revolves around one question – who done it? This is what detective fiction is about. No matter how many murders or even murderers the central question remains the same and this is what hooks the readers.
