Something to do with the mob, she says. Spade is no erudite master of elaborate theoretical puzzles constructed by others. He's a regular tough guy who knows how to take care of himself while tracking facts to whatever conclusion they lead. Welcome to noir , the world of fiction where characters struggle through their internal conflicts and raw emotions in a tough world that often leaves them with no good option. They use whatever is available to them, which is heavy on the physical and light on the intellectual. Dashiell Hammett's novel, The Maltese Falcon , came to be not only his best-known work but the best-known of the day's noir , even representative of 1930s crime fiction.

Search for a writer: (enter last name) Or browse our list: A B C D ... Books of the World Author: Hammett, Dashiell Date and Place of birth: b. May 27, 1894, Maryland, U.S. d. January 10, 1961, New York, U.S. Life and Works: American novelist who also worked as a screenwriter in Hollywood. Also wrote as Peter Collinson, Daghull Hammett, Samuel Dashiell, Mary Jane Hammett. With Raymond Chandler Hammett represented the early realistic vein in detective stories. His tough heroes confront the violence with full knowledge of its corrupting potential. In his novels Hammett painted mean picture of the American society, where greed, brutality, and treachery are the major driving forces behind human actions. Dashiell Hammett was born in St. Mary's County, Maryland, on May 27th, 1894, and died January 10, 1961, in New York, but his family soon moved to Philadelphia and later Baltimore. Here he studied at Baltimore Polytechnic but left school at 14 to help support the family. After having worked as paper boy, clerk, messenger and advertising manager, he became a detective in 1915 when he joined the Baltimore branch of the Pinkerton National Detective Agency, housed in the Continental Building. During the First World War he was a sergeant in the ambulance corps but spent most of the war in hospital following tuberculosis. Dashiell Hammett started writing detective stories in the 1920's, when the typical detective story was not well defined. After working as an operative at the famed Pinkerton Detective Agency, he took his experience to the written word. He and other early detective writers of this era made famous what is now known as the "hard-boiled" detective genre. The rough, rogue operative who was a step ahead of the law and not unlike many of the criminals he chased.

The Dashiell Hammett Suite at Hotel Union Square Attention literary buffs! Hotel Union Square, San Francisco's original boutique hotel, is home to the world's only Dashiell Hammett Suite, dedicated to the celebrated author best known for his novel "The Maltese Falcon" (1930). The famous scribe loved the hotel so much that he booked his bride-to-be Josephine Dolan in a suite on the night before their 1921 wedding. San Francisco-based artist and interior designer Lisa Compagno meticulously created the "Dashiell Hammett Suite," treating guests to a history lesson in the life of the famed scribe. From the two stainless steel eyes hanging in the entrance (a reference to Hammett's short story "The Girl with the Silver Eyes") to the hand towels adorned with Hammett's image in the bathroom, no detail has been overlooked in this large corner suite. Special touches include: an antique suitcase filled with Hammett books; an old fashioned typewriter; a collage dedicated to Hammett books and movies; black and white photos of Hammett's wife and daughters; a vintage-style radio; and a mural of the shadow of "The Thin Man."

It belongs on the shelf of every detective fiction reader and collector." Michael Rogers, Library Journal Lost Stories is must reading for mystery buffs." Dashiell Hammett, the bestselling creator of Sam Spade, The Maltese Falcon , and The Thin Man , was one of the America's most entertaining authors, and one of its most influential. Even so, many of Hammett's stories-includ-ing some of his best-have been out of the reach of anyone but a handful of scholars and collectors-until now. Lost Stories rescues 21 long-lost Hammett stories, all either never published in an anthology or unavailable for decades. Stories range from the first fiction Hammett ever wrote to his last. All stories have been restored to their original versions, replacing often-wholesale cuts with the original text for the first time. For each story, Hammett researcher Vince Emery tells how Hammett's life shaped the story and how the story affected his life. Emery's comments reveal surprises about Hammett's life not covered in any other book. To round out this celebration of Hammett, three-time Edgar Award winner Joe Gores has written an introduction describing how Hammett influenced literature, movies, television, and Gores' own life.

skip to main skip to sidebar Elizabeth Baines How to be a writer without ending up sozzled, behind bars or insane Tuesday, July 31, 2007 Reading group: the Maltese Falcon by Dashiell Hammett We held our last meeting in the run-up to the play, but I don't think it was just the play which prevented me from finishing the book beforehand - Dashiell Hammett's Maltese Falcon , chosen by Mark - for I had started in plenty of time, beginning in tandem with Jenny, on our weekend to Paris in June. Now let me put my cards on the table here. I am not exactly a fan of crime-fiction, but I do remember once reading Raymond Chandler and being pretty impressed by the ethos he conjured, and since Orion provide quotes on the cover of their current paperback edition testifying to this book's 'masterwork' status, I was prepared to be won over. We began in the Paris apartment, me on the sofa with my copy and Jenny on the sofa-bed with hers. I read the first sentence. Sam Spade's jaw was long and bony, his chin a jutting v under the more flexible v of his mouth . Flexible v ? I tried to imagine it. And who is this Sam Spade, by the way? (I haven't seen the film.) I read the next.
