I think it's more obvious with his short stories, but I don't
think all that highly of Farewell, My Lovely. I don't think
it's as strong a novel as Lady in the Lake, for
instance.

"The High Window"/"The
Brasher Doubloon," kicks ass all over it. Also, I can't see
how anyone who has read the two closely would conclude that
"Playback" (1958), although a fine enough book, was anywhere
near in the league of "The Long Goodbye."
