Re: RARA-AVIS: Re: Robert Parker as influence

I recently read POODLE SPRINGS and was also quite aware of when Chandler's words ended and Parker's began. Parker's contribution to the book seemed, at times, to almost border on parody, but for the most part was still enjoyable.

I'm curious, is Parker's follow-up, PERCHANCE TO DREAM any more faithful to Chandler's vision of Marlow than POODLE SPRINGS?

Best, Harry
