Alba Longa is the author name under which the editorial project publishes part of its original fiction and its work in literary theory. This signature brings together crime plotting, explorations of identity and analysis of the formal mechanisms of narrative.
Original fiction
Its creative work includes The House Next Door, a crime novel centred on Commissioner Boris Tynianov, and Masks Always Speak with an English Accent, a conspiracy narrative leading from Notre-Dame in Paris to an international plot.
Literary theory
The Architecture of Crime applies the tools of narratology to crime fiction: plot construction, time, voice, focalisation, character, information and the production of suspense.
An author name and an editorial project
Alba Longa functions both as an author name and as an editorial framework. The pages on this site clearly distinguish its original works from editions of classics and studies published under other author names.
Availability
Alba Longa’s works circulate in print and digital editions through Amazon and international distribution networks. Individual book pages contain only publicly verified commercial links.
