Dear hardboiled's,
I'm coming out of lurkdom for some friendly advice. Does
anybody know some books I could look at by Hammett (or at
least with quotes) talking about how his private dick days
relate to his stories and books? Also, I'm almost positive I
read an essay by Chandler once where he talked about the Sir
Mallory (Morte d'Arthur writer) and Marlowe/Malory
connection. Would anybody happen to know where I saw that? At
this point, I'd be happy to read anything by him (I already
have the essay "Simple Art of Murder") about the romantic
knight and private dick connection. And, I'd just like to
defend The Dain Curse. It may be a bit disorganized, but any
book that has a chapter named "God" that's as full of crazy
hardboiled action as The Dain Curse is high on my list of
favorites. Thanks for any help.
Sincerely, Jason Boog
