Nolan says in his article:
| I am currently at work on a "definitive" biography, A LIFE
BEYOND
| THURSDAY: THE DANGEROUS WORLD OF DASHIELL HAMMETT, which
will contain,
| beyond the main text, an all-inclusive 100-page
bibliography
| of material by and about the author, covering all
media.
The title comes from Nunnally Johnson, who Nolan quotes as
telling Julian Symons, "From the day I met Hammett in the
late 1920s his behaviour could be accounted for only by an
assumption that he had no expectation [due to his poor
health] of being alive much beyond Thursday ... a man who was
clearly convinced that there would never be a
tomorrow."
With that and the collection of letters edited by Layman and
Josephine Hammett Marshall--Fred Zackel sent out the
blurb--there's lots of good reading in the works.
