Not only will Canadian (and northern U.S.) people be able to pick this
up on their radio, anyone with a 14.4 modem and RealAudio can tune in
on the web, through www.radio.cbc.ca.  (The time would be 18:30 EDT.)
This will be the first of three parts.

| RAYMOND CHANDLER'S THE BIG SLEEP A THREE-PART SERIES ON THE MYSTERY
| PROJECT
|
| CBC Radio's THE MYSTERY PROJECT presents The Big Sleep by Raymond
| Chandler, dramatized for radio by Bill Morrison. 
|
| Los Angeles in 1939, a time and place that were comfortable for Chandler
| as he made his decision to switch from short pulp fiction to long-format
| detective stories. 
|
| Somewhere on one of those long sun-drenched streets - before freeways -
| somebody opened a door and out stepped a character named Philip
| Marlowe.  Nobody realized then that this was to be the role-model for
| generations of private eyes.
