Log in The case for Raymond Chandler The creator of Philip Marlowe has been called an imitator and a hack, but he deserves his lonely, disillusioned corner in the American literary canon. By Allen Barra Pages 1 Share Digg it Del.icio.us My Yahoo ... RSS Font: S S+ S++ Probably no writer has evoked urban Southern California for more readers than Raymond Chandler, which is ironic, because Chandler hated L.A. at the same time he was providing us with an enduring object of nostalgia. As the cover art of the new Vintage reissues of Chandler's nine published books proves, nostalgia is a large part of Chandler's appeal. In the city that constantly renews itself without ever changing, Chandler created an astonishingly adaptable genre that continues to evolve. Thinly disguised variants of Chandler's Philip Marlowe, almost all of them denizens of Los Angeles, are resurrected every few years to revise the past (Jack Nicholson's seedy post-Depression hustler in "Chinatown"), mirror the present (James Garner's sly, laid-back, me-decade private dick in TV's "The Rockford Files") and even anticipate the future (Harrison Ford's burnt-out replicant hunter in "Blade Runner"). Steve Martin parodied Chandler in "Dead Men Don't Wear Plaid" and Dennis Potter paid homage to him in "The Singing Detective." He has even influenced the stage musical; without Raymond Chandler, there would have been no "City of Angels." (And how in the world did Chandler ever miss using that title?)

Hamlet was sharp for a prince, good with a knife, but not sharp enough to handle his old man kicking the bucket with an earfull of murder.

@import url("/includes/styles/mysterynet.css"); Raymond Chandler Profile Bio and Essay "Neither tarnished, nor afraid" by Charles L. P. Silet Raymond Chandler Raymond Chandler Mystery Books Discuss Raymond Chandler at MysteryNet Discuss Hard-boiled at MysteryNet Hard-boiled Mysteries Profile at MysteryNet Film Noir Mystery Movies at MysteryNet Murder My Sweet Movie Profile from Chandler's novel at MysteryNet Dialogue in Hard-boiled Movies : Talking ToughProfile at MysteryNet In his famous essay, "The Simple Art of Murder," Raymond Chandler defended the detective story against Dorothy Sayers' charge that it could never "attain the loftiest level of literary achievement," by defining, in effect, the characteristics of the hard-boiled detective novel in his most often quoted piece of prose: "But down these mean streets a man must go who himself is not mean, who is neither tarnished nor afraid..." However, this quote appears in a paragraph that begins: "In everything that can be called art there is a quality of redemption." It is the quality of redemption which more accurately is the determining characteristic of Chandler's prose than is the "mean streets" definition. The redemptive qualities of his narratives, particularly the Philip Marlowe novels, also remind us of their emphasis on ordinary lives (a democratic ideal that is echoed in the prose and poetry of our finest writers: Thoreau, Emerson, Whitman, Du Bois, Faulkner, Twain). Mystery Books List All Testimony Mystery Author Websites Agatha Christie ... True Crime Like many other modern American writers Chandler spent much of his life abroad. He was born in Chicago in 1888, but his Irish mother took him to live in England in 1895 once they had been abandoned by her alcoholic husband. There Chandler studied the classics, mathematics, and even divinity, in school, and in 1905 he spent a year on the continent learning French and German. After becoming a naturalized British citizen, Chandler worked briefly for the Admiralty and then as a journalist for the Daily Express and the Westminster Gazette before returning to the United States where he settled in Los Angeles in 1912. For the next twenty years Chandler worked at and was fired from a number of jobs. He served briefly in World War I with a Canadian Infantry Brigade and saw action on the Western front. In 1919 he began an affair with Cissy Pascal, a married woman, and after her divorce and his mother's death, they were married in 1924.

CONJUNCTIONS:29 Fall 1997 45 Calibrations of Raymond Chandler Peter Straub 1. Not long before his death, he wrote, "I have lived my life on the edge of nothing." 2. Those who may speak honestly of the ambiguous but striking privileges granted by a life conducted on the edge of nothing tend to have in common that they have been faced early on with certain kinds of decisively formative experiences. Although it is never mentioned in considerations of his work, when he was six years old and living with his divorced mother in Nebraska, his alcoholic father, already more an absence than a presence, one day disappeared entirely. Also never mentioned is that in 1918 he was sent into trench warfare as a twenty-year-old sergeant in the Canadian Army and several times led his platoon into direct machine-gun fire. After that, he said later, "nothing is ever the same again." 3. He had no interest in either conventional mysteries or the people who read them.

Raymond Chandler was born in Chicago, Illinois, on July 23, 1888, but spent most of his boyhood and youth in England, where he attended Dulwich College and later worked as a freelance journalist for The Westminster Gazette and The Spectator . During World War I, he served in France with the First Division of the Canadian Expeditionary Force, transferring later to the Royal Flying Corps (R. A. F.). In 1919 he returned to the United States, settling in California, where he eventually became director of a number of independent oil companies. The Depression put an end to his business career, and in 1933, at the age of forty-five, he turned to writing, publishing his first stories in Black Mask . By the time he published his first novel, The Big Sleep (1939), featuring, as did all his major works, the iconic private eye Philip Marlowe, it was clear that he had not only mastered a genre but had set a standard to which others could only aspire. Chandler created a body of work that ranks with the best of twentieth-century literature. He died in 1959. Send a Raymond Chandler e-card!

The oil company fired him for drinking and absenteeism in 1932. Under Cissy's support, he devoted himself to writing from 1933. He studied the pulp magazines, especially writer Erle Stanley Gardner, and published his first story "Blackmailers Don't Shoot" in the December 1933 issue of Black Mask Magazine . His character Philip Marlowe first appeared in the story "Killer in the Rain", which later formed part of the novel "The Big Sleep" (1939). H e met with some success writing for Hollywood – "And Now Tomorrow" (1944), "Double Indemnity" with Billy Wilder (1944), "The Unseen" (1945), and an original script, "The Blue Dahlia" (1946), and "Strangers On A Train" for Hitchcock (1951). H e and Cissy moved to 6005 Camino de la Costa in La Jolla (north of San Diego in California) in 1946, where he continued writing while taking care of his beloved wife, who suffered from fibrosis of the lungs. She died 12 December 1954, an event which essentially broke his heart. Two months after her death, he attempted suicide, which was reported widely; the bullet caused major damage to the bathroom. He went into a slow decline, though he is said to have had a romantic interest in his secretary, Jean Fracasse, and later was preparing to marry his agent, Helga Green, when he died of pneumonia 26 March 1959 at the age of 70. Only 17 people attended his funeral.

Cain ) of the hard-boiled school of mystery fiction. His detective hero Philip Marlowe , a tough and handsome urban loner, was much imitated by other mystery writers and in film noir movies. Chandler didn't begin writing seriously until he was nearly 45 years old; from 1922 to 1932 Chandler was an accountant and manager for the Dabney Oil Syndicate in Los Angeles. (Nearly all of the Marlowe stories were set in Los Angeles, considered an unusual setting at the time.) Chandler's early short stories were published in pulp magazines like Black Mask and he later wrote seven complete novels, the most famous of which are

Raymond Chandler's Long Shadow Kiss Kiss Bang Bang reviewed by Steve Sailer The American Conservative , November 21, 2005 "Kiss Kiss Bang Bang" is a comic tribute to two of the richest veins of American pop culture during the last century: the hard-boiled Hollywood private eye novel, invented by Raymond Chandler in 1939's The Big Sleep , and its cousin, the LAPD mismatched buddy cop movie, honed to commercial perfection by screenwriter Shane Black in 1987's "Lethal Weapon." After making himself perhaps the highest paid and most despised screenwriter, Black disappeared a decade ago. Now, Black is back with a loving spoof of the Chandlerian tradition, an ingenious, self-satirical contrivance that would be incomprehensible to anyone not familiar with Chandler's glorious cinematic offspring, such as "Chinatown," "Blade Runner," "LA Confidential," and "The Big Lebowski." Indeed, "Kiss Kiss Bang Bang" is so fast-paced and convoluted that it's close to impenetrable, period. As in Chandler 's Philip Marlowe novels, figuring out whodunnit takes a back seat to just enjoying the ride.

Chandler was fifty-one, an ex-oil company executive who had taken up writing at the age of forty-five after being fired for alcohol-inspired absenteeism. This was his first novel, and the first of seven featuring the ever-inimitable and much-copied Philip Marlowe. Philip Marlowe's Bad Idea On this day in 1958 Raymond Chandler began his last novel, the never-completed (by him) Poodle Springs . This was Chandler's name for Palm Springs, where "every third elegant creature you see has at least one poodle," and where Philip Marlowe thought he might settle down with his new wife, the socialite Linda Loring. Chandler lost interest after a few chapters; Marlowe probably would have too.

Chandler was one of the writers of the so-called hard-boiled school of detective fiction, which was characterized by a tough, realistic, and unsentimental point of view. He helped develop the genre into a sophisticated literary form. All of Chandler’s novels and many of his short stories focus on the exploits of private detective Philip Marlowe. Chandler’s works are mostly set in Los Angeles, California, in the 1930s and 1940s and depict a dark world of violence, corruption, and paranoia. Chandler did not begin writing professionally until 1933, when he lost his job as an executive at a Los Angeles oil company. His first efforts were short stories published in magazines specializing in crime fiction, such as
