Raymond Chandler : stories and early novels : pulp stories ; the big sleep ; Farewell, my lovely ; The high window

Raymond Chandler, Frank MacShane, editor.
New York : Literary Classics of the United States, ©1995.
Stories and Early Novels includes every story that Chandler did not later incorporate into a novel - thirteen in all. Drawn from the pages of Black Mask and Dime Detective, these stories show how Chandler adapted the violent conventions of the pulp magazines - with their brisk exposition and rapid-fire dialogue - to his own emerging vision of 20th-century America. Raymond Chandler: Stories and Early Novels contains a newly researched chronology of Chandler's life, explanatory notes, and an essay on the texts.
