Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
In Raymond Chandler?s hands, the pulp crime story became a haunting mystery of power and corruption, set against a modern cityscape both lyrical and violent. Now Chandler joins the authoritative Library of America series in a comprehensive twovolume set displaying all the facets of his brilliant talent.In his first novel, The Big Sleep (1939), the classic private eye finds his fullfledged form as Philip Marlowe: at once tough, independent, brash, disillusioned, and sensitiveand man of weary honor threading his way (in Chandler?s phrase) ?down these mean streets? among blackmailers, pornographers, and murderers for hire.In Farewell, My Lovely (1940), Chandler?s personal favorite among his novels, Marlowe?s search for a missing woman leads him from shanties and honkytonks to the highest reaches of power, encountering an array of richly drawn characters. The High Window (1942), about a rare coin that becomes a catalyst by which a hushedup crime comes back to haunt a wealthy family, is partly a humorous burlesque of pulp fiction. All three novels show Chandler at a peak of verbal inventiveness and storytelling driveStories and Early Novels also includes every classic noir story from the 1930s that Chandler did not later incorporate into a novelthirteen in all, among them such classics as ?Red Wind,? ?Finger Man,? The King in Yellow,' and ?Trouble Is My Business.? Drawn from the pages of Black Mask and Dime Detective, these stories show how Chandler adapted the violent conventions of the pulp magazinewith their brisk exposition and rapidfire dialogueto his own emerging vision of twentiethcentury America.LIBRARY OF AMERICA is an independent nonprofit cultural organization founded in 1979 to preserve our nation?s literary heritage by publishing, and keeping permanently in print, America?s best and most significant writing.
