Frank:
>(in reference to Philip Marlowe story collection). John,
what >is the title
of that collection, please, and who edited it?
it's called Raymond Chandler's Philip Marlowe. edited by Byron
Preiss. has a
different Marlowe story for every year from 1935 to 1959 by
different authors
with the unexplained exceptions of 1943, 1949. a complete list
of
contributors:
Max Allan Collins. Benjamin M. Schutz. Loren D. Estleman. Joyce
Harrington.
Jonathan Valin. Dick Lochte. W.R. Philbrick. Sara Paretsky.
Julie Smith.
Paco Ignacio Taibo II. Francis M. Nevins, Jr. Roger L. Simon.
John Lutz.
Simon Brett. Robert J. Randisi. Stuart M. Kaminsky. Robert
Crais. Edward
D. Hoch. Jeremiah Healy. Ed Gorman. James Grady. Eric Van
Lustbader.
Robert Campbell. and concludes with Chandler's own The
Pencil.
as one can see, some natural choices and some very odd ones.
many of the
stories are excellent. I imagine this would be a hard book for
many listers
to pass up if they saw it on a shelf.
it was for me.
