ReviewsFrom Jonathan Lethem's introduction to The Annotated Big Sleep "Nothing, even a book as singular and archetypal as The Big Sleep , comes from nowhere. What a gift, to see in part how Chandler made it. Under just three names, these annotators number among them two poets, an archivist and literary scholar, a gifted crime novelist, and three sleuths; reading it conveys the vicarious thrill of their innumerable discoveries. Chandler lucked out."

Amazing annotation of an amazing novel
I you you’re reading this novel for the first time or if you’ve read it before and want to learn, an enormous amount about the backstory and about Raymond Chandler as a writer, this book is for you. For first time readers, I would suggest just reading the novel portion of this book and avoiding the annotation, then go back the second time and reading through the annotation. The three authors who contribute the annotation do an amazing job there, photos, maps, and details that were meticulously researched. This is a great book, both for Chandler’s novel and the copious detail of the annotation.Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Gebraucht
