The Life of Raymond Chandler
Frank MacShane ;Engelstalige paperback, leeslijn op de rug, in goede staat
Raymond Chandler murdered more people than Dashiell Hammett did - and he murdered them brilliantly. Dismissed from his job with an oil company because of heavy drinking, Chandler did not begin to write detective fiction until he was forty-four; yet within a few years he published The Big Sleep and created in Philip Marlowe one of the century's most popular and durable heroes. Marlowe's exploits were filmed; Humphrey Bogart, Dick Powell, Elliott Gould, and Robert Mitchum have been among the actors to protray him. Chandler himself went to Hollywood as a scriptwriter and rose to international acclaim as the author of Farewell, My Lovely: The Long Goodbye; and The Little Sister, his novel about Hollywood. Drawing on Chandler's voluminous yet lively correspondence and on conversations with members of his circle, Frank MacShane has given us the first - the definitive - account of the life and times of this unique literary figure
