Editor's Note:
"Promisi sulla mia coscienza di trovare l'assassino, solo per non essere costretto a vedere ancora il dolore di quei genitori... e ora devo mantenere la mia promessa." Il freddo e infallibile investigatore, il commissario Matthäi, è vincolato all'impegno preso, e obbligato a risolvere il caso di una bambina di sette anni brutalizzata e uccisa in un bosco. Ma "La promessa", "antiromanzo giallo", liquida con un massimo di crudeltà e finezza il genere poliziesco colpendolo proprio alla radice, cioè nella sua favolosa e assoluta consequenzialità. Gli elementi del genere ci sono tutti: i colleghi, ottusi o altezzosi, che si rifiutano di prestare fede alle sorprendenti intuizioni del commissario; un delitto raccapricciante con drammatici precedenti; un presunto colpevole; e la sorpresa finale, con lo scioglimento del mistero e la rivelazione dell'autentico assassino. Tutto viene però parodisticamente distorto e deformato nella celebrazione funebre del personaggio del detective e del racconto giallo tradizionali. Dürrenmatt sostituisce alla morale pratica di ogni poliziotto (il delitto non paga) una morale metafisica in cui regna l'assurdo: il razionale non prevale affatto sul caos, o almeno non fatalmente, e chi fa affidamento sulla razionalità finisce per esserne la prima incompresa vittima.
