Product Description

Review
""Raymond Chandler Speaking offers us various unpublished pieces. . . and a large number of letters written to his publishers, agents, fellow writers and various friends. . . . Chandler's many admirers will find it a good value. Young writers chiefly concerned with the novel of action and violence should not miss it, for Chandler, at his best a master of this kind of fiction, has much to say that deserves their attention."--J. B. Priestley, "New Statesman

Product Description
This collection of the letters and unpublished writings of detective writer Raymond Chandler includes views by the author on his writing, Hollywood, publishers, television, cats, the craft of writing, famous crimes, the mystery novel; and the first chapters of his last, unfinished novel.

5.0 out of 5 stars The king of crime, 20 Aug 2003
By Russel D. Mclean "Russel D McLean" (Scotland) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Raymond Chandler is one of the most influential crime writers of the twentieth century. Literate, hardboiled and transcending the traditional image of the pulp writers, he created some of the most memorable crime fiction of his era. This book collects letters and correspondence from Chandler. Although I am not normally a fan of letter collections, this book is an engrossing read, adding not only to my image of Chandler, but also to my understanding of his writings. For any fan of crime fiction, for any fan of biography, for anyone who loves these "collected letters" anthologies, in fact for anyone who enjoys a good read, this collection of revealing, witty and fascinating correspondence is an essential purchase.
