The World of Raymond Chandler shows how Chandler precariously balanced the values of a classical English education against those of a fastevolving America during the years before the Great War; how he adopted Los Angeles as his home after WWI, with Hollywood in turn adopting him (and adapting his works); how his detective hero and alter ego Philip Marlowe evolved over the years; and, above all, what it is to be a writer, and in particular one writing in the other language of hardboiled fiction.Acclaimed biographer and historian Barry Day deftly interweaves images and text, using quotations from Chandlers novels, short stories, letters, and interviews, to craft a unique portrait of the mystery writers life and times.

I was really looking forward to this book, but it didn’t quite meet my expectations. The black lizard cover is cool, but some of the passages felt repetitive. Still, if you're a Chandler fan, there are nuggets of wisdom in there.

Interesting but a Bit Pricey
I enjoyed the insights into Chandler’s mind, but I felt the price was a bit steep for a paperback. The black lizard design is nice, though, and it makes for a great coffee table book. Just wish it was more affordable!
