******************* Wow! Talk about different impressions! I
found Chandler cynical and ironic maybe, but never funny. But
I've only read THE BIG SLEEP and THE LONG GOODBYE, so I've
got a long ways to go. What did you find funny in Chandler's
writing?
My favorite Chandler is his short story "Goldfish."
