Chandler began writing stories for crime fiction magazine Black Mask , which also published Dashiell Hammett 's stories. He is best known for his tough but honest private detective Philip Marlowe, the name originating from the English 16th century writer Christopher Marlowe , who had a violent temper. As representative and master of hard-boiled school of crime fiction, Chandler criticized classical puzzle writers for their lack of realism. His most famous target in much quoted essay The Simple Art of Murder (1944) was A.A. Milne 's The Red House Mystery "In everything that can be called art there is a quality of redemption. It may be pure tragedy, if it is high tragedy, and it may be pity and irony, and it may be the raucous laughter of the strong man. But down these mean streets a man must go who is not himself mean, who is neither tarnished nor afraid. The detective in this kind of story must be such a man." (from The Simple Art of Murder Raymond Chandler was born in Chicago, but he grew up in England after the divorce of his parents.

She was twenty or so, small and delicately put together, but she looked durable. I could see, even on that short acquaintence, that thinking was always going to be a bother to her. A few locks of dry white hair clung to his scalp, like wild flowers fighting for life on a bare rock. I sat down on the edge of a deep soft chair and looked at Mrs. Regan. She was worth a stare. She was trouble. She was stretched out on a modernistic chaise-lounge with her slippers off, so I stared at her legs in the sheerest silk stockings. They seemed to be arranged to stare at. They were visible to the knee and one of them well beyond. The knees were dimpled, not bony and sharp. The calves were beautiful, the ankles long and slim and with enough melodic line for a tone poem. "My God you big dark brute! I ought to throw a Buick at you."

Authors and Creators Raymond Chandler R aymond Chandler was one of the foremost authors (not merely one of the foremost mystery authors) of the 20th century. Without him, what we know today as the hard-boiled crime tale might be quite differentprobably less literary in aim, if not always in execution. Chandler took the raw, realistic intrigue style that Dashiell Hammett James M. Cain Ernest Hemingway Ross Macdonald , who was among those influenced by Chandler's work, and who would go onin novels such as The Chill (1964) and The Underground Man (1971)to further elevate crime fiction's reputation. However, as business pressures intensified during the Depression, and Cissy's health began to fail with age, Chandler commenced drinking heavily and engaging in affairs with office secretaries. In 1932, he was fired from his job with the oil syndicate. To ease the consequent drain on his savings, he turned back to writing, and in 1933 saw his first short story published in Black Mask It was an 18,000-word story called Chandler relished mystery writing because it seemed to lack pretension, and the pulps' restrictions on word length and subject matter compelled him to master the art of storytelling. Never a past master of plotting, Chandler found his own strengths instead in creating emotion through description and dialogue, and in presenting a prose idiom that melded the precision of his prep-school English with the vigor of American vernacular speech.

19. Raymond Chandler Biography, bibliography, and brief essay about the author. http://www.america.net/~davdmock/chandler.htm

"But down these mean streets a man must go who is not himself mean, who is neither tarnished nor afraid." Raymond Chandler , The Simple Art Of Murder It has been said that Raymond Chandler is a star of the first magnitude.* It has been said that Raymond Chandler wrote like a slumming angel and invested the sun-blinded streets of Los Angeles with a romantic presence.** It has also been said that his plots were a mess.*** It has further been said that he was a world-class drunk. Big deal so was William Faulkner, the man who ruined The Big Sleep for the screen trying to write a script from a novel he didn't understand. Faulkner even had to telegraph Chandler to ask him who killed the Sternwood's chauffer. " I don't know," was Chandler's sarcastic telegraphed reply. Although Chandler was later consulted by director Howard Hawks, only the art of Bogart and Bacall saved the film from disaster. Chandler was, to my knowledge, the first writer to set up a sort of code of ethics for private detective stories (Dashiell Hammett came close, but never actually put it down on paper). He felt that a private detective must himself be above all of the things he encounters; " The best man in the world and a good enough man for any world ."
