Il 22 luglio del 1933, Raymond Chandler pubblica il suo primo racconto, "Blackmailers Don’t Shoot", sulla rivista pulp "Black Mask". Chandler era molto affezionato al suo gatto, di nome Taki, al punto da scrivere una lettera dal punto di vista dell'animale a una giovane fan. In questa lettera, Taki descrive la sua vita con il famoso autore ironizzando sul fatto che lui trascorra così tanto tempo a battere sulla macchina da scrivere.

One of the things that bug me about from the was this weird thing under the barrel mostly made of wood.

Its everywhere in but I dont see the point of this.

Does anyone know what it is or what it does? Is it just decoration?

Any Hong Kong cinema experts out there? The John Woo movie "Hard Boiled" is originally titled 辣手神探 which apparently translates as "tough detective".

So here's my question: Is the movie really called "Tough Detective" and "Hard Boiled" seemed like a reasonable approximation for the American market? Or is "tough detective" actually the phrase used in Chinese to denote the hard boiled genre?

Mickey Spillane’s 1964 novel The Snake is a sequel to The Girl Hunters and you absolutely must read The Girl Hunters first. This is a very different Mike Hammer - older, wiser and sadder. Both books are great, but read the earlier books first.

When I compare such with today's successful rubbish like and/or I feel sick. Modern is mostly pastorised filth to the point of brain death.

There is something very about Harper's - especially towards the end. I would have advocated more consistency.
Anyway, I don't know why no one has made a of the book yet. Especially the witty as well as "pictorial" (?) prose are arguments for the author.

Just before the end: Jonathan Harper's (de: Die Rache der Polly McClusky) is a very violent nightmare full of drugs, (ex) convicts, cartels, Nazis, teddybears and blood is thicker than water! The reminds me of Jim Thompson's , the movies and . Might appeal to fans of or ?

I like the bleak and concise prose!

Beware: Not for the faint of hearted!

(highly).

Sin Pit (1954) is Paul S. Meskil’s only novel. It's seriously hardboiled, most definitely noir and pretty sleazy. This is the seamy underside of 1950s America. A cynical cop gets drawn into a nightmare world of lust. Excellent book.

Changing gears: Although I have some very good books behind me, I want to take on something different next.? ? ? ? I'm considering Jordan Harper's (de: Die Rache der Polly McClusky) right now? A novel is also an option.
Tips / boosts are welcome. Thank you in advance.

Sleep well!

W.R. Burnett's High Sierra, a great noir novel by a great writer. A bank robber just out of jail gets mixed up in a heist with a bunch of amateurs and a girl. He used to be a big shot. Now he's tired and fatalistic. The book packs a real punch.

They don't come more hardboiled than this 1951 gem. Hadn't seen in in decades, it's still top notch, if a little over the top with 1940's police talk and rough treatment of everyone.

Recommended if only to get a feel for what would come later--the blueprint, so to speak for tons of police dramas.

Noël Calef’s novel Frantic (original French title Ascenseur pour ’échafaud) was published in 1956. The basis for Louis Malle’s superb 1958 film noir Elevator to the Gallows.

Lots of noirness, fine suspense, a powerful sense of impending doom, some nasty plot twists. Fine stuff.
