Farewell, My Lovely by Raymond Chandler

3.0

The thing you have to know going into a story written in the 1930's or 40's is that racism was an everyday, non-event. In many of Chandler's stories the interactions, dialogues, and monologues use language that is repugnant but was "normal" for its time. It was shocking to me so if you are not prepared to overlook this or see in context then just skip this author. The books are well written for the genre but not worth the heartache if this is a tender spot for you.
