520    "The first book to give us the life and times of Raymond 
       Chandler through his own writing-from the acclaimed editor
       of The Letters of Noël Coward.  Chandler never wrote 
       an autobiography or a memoir. Now Barry Day, making use of
       Chandler's novels, short stories, and letters as well as 
       Day's always illuminating commentary, gives us the life of
       "the man with no home," a man precariously balanced 
       between his classical English education with its immutable
       values and that of a fast-evolving America during the 
       years before the Great War, with its resulting changing 
       vernacular. Chandler reveals what it was like to be a 
       writer, and in particular what it was to be a writer of 
       "hard-boiled" fiction in what was for him "another 
       language." Along the way, he discusses the work of his 
       contemporaries: Dashiell Hammett, James M. Cain, Hemingway,
       Fitzgerald, Agatha Christie, Erle Stanley Gardner, 
       Somerset Maugham, among others. Here is Chandler's Los 
       Angeles, a city he adopted and which adopted him in the 
       post-World War I period...Chandler on his Hollywood, 
       working with Billy Wilder, Howard Hawks, Alfred Hitchcock,
       and others...Chandler on organized crime and on his alter 
       ego, Philip Marlowe, private eye, the incorruptible knight
       with little armor who walks the "mean streets" in a world 
       not made for knights...on drinking (his life in the end 
       was in a race with alcohol-and loneliness)...and here are 
       Chandler's women-the Little Sisters; the dames-in his 
       fiction-and his life"--|cProvided by publisher.
