Reviews"Raymond Chandler is a master." -- The New York Times "[Chandler] wrote as if pain hurt and life mattered." -- The New Yorker "Chandler seems to have created the culminating American hero: wised up, hopeful, thoughtful, adventurous, sentimental, cynical and rebellious." --Robert B. Parker, The New York Times Book Review "Philip Marlowe remains the quintessential urban private eye." -- Los Angeles Times "Nobody can write like Chandler on his home turf, not even Faulkner. . . . An original. . . . A great artist." - The Boston Book Review "Raymond Chandler was one of the finest prose writers of the twentieth century. . . . Age does not wither Chandler's prose. . . . He wrote like an angel." -- Literary Review "[T]he prose rises to heights of unselfconscious eloquence, and we realize with a jolt of excitement that we are in the presence of not a mere action tale teller, but a stylist, a writer with a vision." --Joyce Carol Oates, The New York Review of Books "Chandler wrote like a slumming angel and invested the sun-blinded streets of Los Angeles with a romantic presence." -Ross Macdonald "Raymond Chandler is a star of the first magnitude." --Erle Stanley Gardner "Raymond Chandler invented a new way of talking about America, and America has never looked the same to us since." --Paul Auster "[Chandler]'s the perfect novelist for our times. He takes us into a different world, a world that's like ours, but isn't.

The Long Good-Bye
This book was recommended by one of the lists as one of the best 100 mysteries written in the 1900's/ or a classic. I loved the book at the start but about three-quarters through, found it redundant and repetitive. The writing was excellent in parts -- published in the 1950's, it probably wouldn't have survived a great editor today. I read it for my mystery book club and in the end, I am not sure I would recommend it, as I thught it too long. The man character. Philip Marlowe did help set the standards for a Private Investigator -- honest, smart -- but he was almost "too virtuous" in some ways to be "true". I am not certain I would recommend it really, although I will remember it, so maybe.Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Gebraucht
