I'm crushed, crushed, that RAMOND CHANDLER - MASTER OF
AMERICAN NOIR isn't included on your list.
Seriously, if anyone is interested in checking out my
Chandler e-book, Barnes & Noble will be offering the
Chandler course (with me as instructor) once again this
April.
I'll post a link as soon as one's available.
If you are planning on taking the course (it's free), the
reading list is:
LESSON ONE:
"Blackmailers Don't Shoot"
"Smart-ALeck Kill"
"Spanish Blood"
LESSON TWO:
"Finger Man"
"Goldfish"
"Red Wind"
"Trouble Is My Business"
LESSONS THREE & FOUR: THE BIG SLEEP
LESSONS FIVE AND SIX: FAREWELL, MY LOVELY
LESSON SEVEN: THE HIGH WINDOW
LESSON EIGHT: Review
Be nice to see a few of you Rar Birs there. Miker took the
course and spoke kindly of it.
JIM DOHERTY
