Title
AUX MARGES DE L'URBAIN: Représentation de l'espace dans deux romans policiers, Le Déménagement de Georges Simenon (1967) et Hors limites de Didier Daeninckx (1992).
In both novels, the banlieue is at once the expected setting for the crime-genre romanesque, treated in a parodic fashion, and the reality that the text aims to describe. Le Déménagement describes a periurban area through the mediation of the protagonist who experiences it. Hors limites offers a noir vision of a declining industrial suburb.
