If we can agree that, broadly speaking, Chandler's PI
protagonist, whatever the name (Dalmas, Carmady, whoever) is
always Marlowe, then that narrows things down.
AFAIK, the only oddity in the Chandler ouevre is a one-off
sci-fi story, called something like 'Brass Door' or 'Bronze
Door'.
I made a list of RC stories once (there really aren't that
many of
'em--about thirty, I think) I don't have the list handy
(maybe it's with that article on Hammett in the Dell
map-backs, which I've also misplaced) so I can't check that
title for accuracy and a source of its first publication, but
I should think that the rara-avis bibliography will be pretty
complete.
On the subject of Marlowe, can anyone here offer any pointers
to secondary reading on Marlowe and LA? The kind of idea
being pursued is: How crucial is the location (LA) to the
character of Marlowe? What happens to Marlowe when he's
*removed* from LA as, for eg, in the film of _The Big Sleep_
that transposes the action to Buckinghamshire [or somewhere
like that] in the English countryside.
