Chander was a master,
By A Customer
This review is from: Stories and Early Novels: Pulp Stories / the Big Sleep / Farewell, My Lovely (Library of America) (Hardcover)
This two volume set on the entire canon of Raymond Chandlers work is beautifully put together and very enjoyable to read. After reading this one can only respect the creative mind that created this riveting collection. Marlowe was/is the father of the modern hip detective and as this collection shows the author deserves all the praise in the world for creating him along with numerous other fasinating short stories and screenplays..

Chandler joins the ranks of America's elite authors,
By A Customer
This review is from: Stories and Early Novels: Pulp Stories / the Big Sleep / Farewell, My Lovely (Library of America) (Hardcover)
The addition of this title and its companion volume, "Later Novels & Other Writings," to the venerable Library of America series makes official what mystery fans have always known: Raymond Chandler is one of the gods of American literature. Following the trail blazed by Dashiell Hammett, Chandler created Philip Marlowe and the set the standard against which all private detective fiction is measured. This two-volume set covers almost the full canon of Chandler's work from early pulp stories to all the Marlowe novels, the screenplay for "Double Indemnity," and essays on the mystery genre plus the usual Library of America goodies such as notes on the text and a chronology of the author's life. In terms of literary inventions, the Wild West cowboy and the hard-boiled PI are this country's only true native sons, and, as such, are deserving of resepct. One of them at least now has it.--Michael Rogers

"MARLOWE BY ANY OTHER NAME WOULD BE JUST AS TOUGH",
By A Customer
This review is from: Stories and Early Novels: Pulp Stories / the Big Sleep / Farewell, My Lovely (Library of America) (Hardcover)
For you hard-boiled detective fans who are also intogeneology, you might like to trace Philip Marlowe's family tree. Raymond Chandler's prototypes for his now famous detective began in the mid-30's with characters from some of his early pulp magazine stories. Whether the character is Ted Carmady, Johnny Dalmas, John Evans, Tony Resick or a character named simply Mallory, they all had the qualities and charactoristics that eventually evolved into what became Philip Marlowe. Red Wind, Trouble Is My Business and Goldfish are just three of more than 40 stories Chandler wrote during his lifetime. Don't miss a single one!
