A review by chloekg
The Simple Art of Murder by Raymond Chandler
4.0
"They're so American!" I said to a friend, "And I could feel the whole world loving America."
Language is the star, nobility and longing, the silver flask and a dame with purple eyes comin' back from a sap on the head, "I like your whiskey. Could I have a little more?"
Starry heartache of California dreams, "games of chance, including women." A 6'3" serge suit and the biggest shoes in the world. The stories are urgent, iconic-timeless, and mostly very fun. It's the whole world of it all that lingers, the titular essay forever.
