books by Raymond Chandler     books:     Raymond Chandler      The Lady in the Lake Raymond Chandler Vintage, 1988 Philip Marlowe Finds Another Body... The Lady in the Lake is one of Chandler's best. Philip Marlowe finds a body--but whose body is it? Laced with Chandler's wry commentary on everything from rich dames to down and out war veterans, this book is an absolute delight from the first page to the last. Classic ...             The Long Goodbye Raymond Chandler Vintage, 1988 Arguably Chandler's Best You don't read Raymond Chandler for the plots--you read him for the magnificent "hard boiled" prose. The Long Goodbye is probably his most complex work, full of world-weary insights and a somewhat more "tender" Marlowe. The great pleasure of The Long Goodbye is seeing ...             Raymond Chandler: Collected Stories (Everyman's Library) Raymond Chandler Everyman's Library, 2002 Great look at the development of an unforgettable character Yes, there are a lot of great stories in this book, but for me the real interest is seeing Chandler develop the traits and try out the plotlines that will be fully fleshed out with the definitive Philip Marlowe. I was introduced to Chandler by a good friend (thanks, ...             The Big Sleep; Farewell, My Lovely; The High Window (Everyman's Library) Raymond Chandler Everyman's Library, 2002 Chandler reigns I first came across Chandler when I heard the Coen brothers interview and discovered that 'The Big Lebowski' was written in the style of one (name itself being derived from 'The Big Sleep'). This alone interested me enough to buy and read The Big Sleep. Six novels ...             Raymond Chandler: Stories and Early Novels: Pulp Stories / The Big Sleep / Farewell, My Lovely / The High ... Raymond Chandler Library of America, 1995 The cliches were invented right here There are Hammett fans and Chandler fans. I am for Hammett, but Chandler's work remains compelling. The plots are nonsense but the metaphors are the purest gold. The opening scenes of THE BIG SLEEP and FAREWELL, MY LOVELY are delicious every time.             The High Window Raymond Chandler Vintage, 1988 A Fantastic View from A High Window Raymond Chandler is that rare sort of novelist who creates a world that sings with individuality while inviting others to join the fun. That, perhaps, is Chandler's greatest talent--he makes his world inviting while never pandering to prurient or common tastes. In A ...             The Simple Art of Murder Raymond Chandler Vintage, 1988 I Read It Until the Book Fell Apart I am commenting on the present book not the older 1968 version. Some other people are commenting on the old book. Before you read all the other comments here, please be clear that this book is not like Chandler's other books. Unfortunately, some other people ...             Raymond Chandler: Later Novels and Other Writings: The Lady in the Lake / The Little Sister / The Long ... Raymond Chandler Library of America, 1995 Writing at its best - and it happens to be in detective noir C-L-A-S-S-I=C HIGH/low notes. These stories are like a deck cards, all aces...... but there are way too few left. I finished "Little Sisters" (GREAT), "Farewell, My Lovely"- is recommended in the other half (earlier edition). The hook is Marlow. In times where many ...             Farewell, My Lovely Raymond Chandler Vintage, 1988 A Lyrical Must-Read According to Wikipedia, FAREWELL, MY LOVELY (1940) was Raymond Chandler's second novel and created from three short stories--"The Man Who Liked Dogs" (1936), "Try the Girl" (1937), and "Mandarin's Jade" (1937). This makes a lot of sense to me, since Chandler's great ...             The Big Sleep Raymond Chandler Vintage, 1988 A Must Read What more can or needs to be said about Raymond Chandler and The Big Sleep? Not much. The Big Sleep was his first novel, introduced Philip Marlowe, and is often considered his best work. The Big Sleep is a good whodunit, but Chandler shines when he examines the ...             Philip Marlowe's Guide to Life Raymond Chandler Knopf, 2005 'The Genuine Article' Excellent, excellent book for 1940's one-liners and wise-guy cracks - West Coast wise guy, that is. This collection of Philip Marlowe quips and punch lines is THE authority on America's original 20th Century lone-wolf good-guy from L.A. An excellent idea for a gift, ...             Trouble Is My Business Raymond Chandler Vintage, 1988 "When in doubt have a man come through the door with a gun in his hand." The title of this review is from the introduction to "Trouble Is My Business." But Raymond Chandler never had doubts about his writing. He once said, "Don't ever write anything you don't like yourself and if you do like it, don't take anyone's advice about changing it. ...             Raymond Chandler: Four Complete Novels Raymond Chandler Random House Value Publishing, 1991 all 4 of these stories are excellent I have always been a fan of all hard-boiled detective novels, but these 4 by Raymond Chandler are some of the best I have ever read. Phillip Marlowe never does the same thing twice and is always interesting to read about. My favorite part of these books is the witty ...             The Lady in the Lake, The Little Sister, The Long Goodbye, Playback (Everyman's Library) Raymond Chandler Everyman's Library, 2002 A nice way to begin Raymond Chandler addiction If you don't already have a bookshelf full of Raymond Chandler, Ross McDonald and other excellent mystery writers of those times this is a fine start, three good, solid novels to take up the shelf space of only one. I'd easily give every Raymond Chandler novel he ever ...             Playback Raymond Chandler Vintage, 1988 "He had a gun, but I had a tyre iron" In 1953, Raymond Chandler published his finest work, "The Long Goodbye." It took him five years to release his next Philip Marlowe mystery, but in 1958 he finally released "Playback," a reworking of a rejected screenplay Chandler had written.
