McManise, že detektivky mohou být bohatým zdrojem literární geografie.	americká detektivka; etnická detektivka; Dana Stabenow; Kate Shugak série; Aljaška; literární místopis
eng	Not Too Cold for Crime: Alaska in Dana Stabenow's Crime Fiction	In recent decades we witness a growing critical attention paid to literary space. However, literary scholarship’s interest in literary geography and poetics of place, i.e. in the way literary works depict places, landscapes, specific rural and urban environments has so far been mainly devoted to classics and “high” literature, although Douglas R. McManis claimed already in 1978 that “mystery writing is an abundant source of literary geography.” In order to support McManis’s assertion, the paper focuses on the Kate Shugak fiction by Dana Stabenow, a series of crime novels set in Alaska, and it analyzes how they represent a specific place and create a literary landscape.	ethnic crime fiction; Dana Stabenow; Kate Shugak series; Alaska; place in literature
