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.
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".
放大镜、烟斗、安乐椅,提及欧美的侦探小说,人们心中往往会浮现出这三件物品。作为古典推理派的经典装备,影响之大,以至于人们在今天的背景下对原著翻拍时,还会不自觉地把这些属于19世纪的元素添加进去。 然而,当福尔摩斯、波洛、布朗神父这一个个出身高贵的睿智头脑,在卷...
评分将钱德勒的《大眠》与汉密特的《马耳他黑鹰》放在一起比较是很有趣的,凶手都差不多是最需柔弱最不可能杀人的人,偏偏又是将一大帮凶神恶煞玩弄于股掌的。那个时期很多作品的设计都是这样,女性不在是花瓶而成了最可怕的魔头。当然很难说这是不是推理小说文体先期摆脱性别歧视...

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。
