Spotted that title at the local Borders books a few weeks past. Priceless stuff although at the time I thought the price was too pricey for such a small book. Now that I think about it, it's just the right size to fit into your pocket for quick reference when you need a refresher for your patter. What other people/characters would be good for the same type of book? Bogart maybe?

I bought that book like two weeks ago. It was great. Theres comments on stuff I didn't know Marlowe or Chandler knew about.

If only I had read this a week or so ago, then it would have been at the top of the list when people wnated to know what to get me for christmas.
Looks good though, I'll just have to get it for myself then!!
Cheers for the tip. :clap

I posted this at the Cladrite Radio site today, but thought I'd share it here, too:

Raymond Chandler fans will want to avail themselves of this audio stream of a recent panel discussion at NYC's Symphony Space about Chandler and his debut 1939 novel, The Big Sleep.

It’s an intriguing, enlightening discussion that suggested some new ways for me to look at the great man’s work.

The participants were Jonathan Lethem, whose first novel, Gun, with Occasional Music, was, he openly admits, fully intended to be Chandler-esque; Judith Freeman, author of The Long Embrace: Raymond Chandler and The Woman He Loved; and Rich Cohen, author of Sweet and Low: A Family Story, and each brings interesting insights to the table.

The site requires registration to access the stream, but it's free and the discussion is worth the trouble.

Thanks skyvue.

Great link. I started to re-read it the other day.

I love Agnes in the movie version.

Nice bump, Sky.

Nice bump, Sky.

Thanks. I try to recycle threads when I can. I'll admit it's a mild pet peeve of mine that new threads get started so willy-nilly. There's almost always an older thread that will suffice, if folks will just do a little searching.
