Raymond Chandler created the fast talking, trouble seeking Californian private eye Philip Marlowe for his first great novel "The Big Sleep" in 1939. Marlowe's entanglement with the Sternwood family - and an attendant cast of colorful underworld figures - is the background to a story reflecting all the tarnished glitter of the great American Dream. The detective's iconic image burns just as brightly in "Farewell My Lovely", on the trail of a missing nightclub crooner. And the inimitable Marlowe is able to prove that trouble really is his business in Raymond Chandler's brilliant epitaph, "The Long Goodbye".
Raymond Chandler was born in Chicago in 1888 and moved to England with his family when he was twelve. He attended Dulwich College, Alma Mater to some of the twentieth century's most renowned writers. Returning to America in 1912, he settled in California, worked in a number of jobs, and later married. It was during the Depression era that he seriously turned his hand to writing and his first published story appeared in the pulp magazine Black Mask in 1933, followed six years later by his first novel. The Big Sleep introduced the world to Philip Marlowe, the often imitated but never-bettered hard-boiled private investigator. It is in Marlowe's long shadow that every fictional detective must stand -- and under the influence of Raymond Chandler's addictive prose that every crime author must write.

评分 评分2005年有一部好莱坞电影《小贼、美女和妙探》,但它的英文名更棒Kiss, Kiss, Bang, Bang。算不得一流的悬疑片,可是这部片子对钱德勒的致敬让我印象深刻,最后一节的标题是The Simple Art Of Murder。忽然觉得Kiss, Kiss, Bang, Bang,Bang是个不错的标题,亲两口开两枪。 Kiss...

评分Chandler的语言功底真好。“The night air came drifting in with a kind of stale sweetness that remembered automobile exhausts and the streets of the city.” 读完The Big Sleep有一种绵延的忧伤,从一个侧面反映了二战前夕美国社会的迷惘。
