Raymond Chandler
BIO

An American writer of hard-boiled detective novels, Raymond Thornton Chandler, was born in Chicago on July 23, 1888, and died on March 26, 1959. Along with Dashiell Hammett, Chandler set the style for the mainstream of American detective fiction. His series hero, Philip Marlowe, is tough-minded, loyal, and incorruptible in his dealings with the seamy side of American life and politics. Chandler wrote such original screenplays as The Blue Dahlia (1946) and coauthored DOUBLE INDEMNITY (1944) and STRANGERS ON A TRAIN (1951). Six of his novels were successfully filmed, including THE BIG SLEEP (1939; film, 1946) with Humphrey Bogart as Marlowe, FAREWELL, MY LOVELY (1940; films, 1944 and 1975), and THE LONG GOODBYE (1953; film, 1973), which won the 1954 Edgar Allan Poe Award.

    http://www.ifrance.com/DOSSIERSCINEMAETCIE/CHANDLER RAYMOND.htm
    Vous présent e RAYMOND CHANDLER BIOGRAPHIE 1888 : Naissance le 23 Juillet à Chicago sous le nom de Raymond Thornton (U.S.A.) Né à Chicago mais formé en Angleterre, Raymond Chandler exerça divers emplois avant de devenir tardivement écrivain, à l'âge de quarante-quatre ans. Il devint célèbre à travers la fameuse collection du « Masque noir», notamment grâce à son personnage de détective privé, Philip Marlowe. Celui-ci, homme honnête et droit, garde dans l'ensemble des ouvrages où il apparaît la même attitude pleine de bon sens, qui contraste vivement avec les milieux mal famés, louches et dangereux dans lesquels il est amené à évoluer. 1959 : Décès le 26 Mars à La Jolla (U.S.A.) LES ADAPTATIONS LE GRAND SOMMEIL 1946, U.S.A. Réalisé par Howard Hawks Musique de Max Steiner Durée 1 h 56 Avec Humphrey Bogart (Marlowe) , Lauren Bacall, John Ridgely, Martha Vickers, Dorothy Malone, Charles Waldron... Résumé : Le privé Philip Marlowe a pour mission de mettre la main sur Geiger, un individu douteux qui fait chanter Carmen, la fille nymphomane du général Sternwood. Il file la voiture de Carmen qui l'emmène tout droit au cadavre de Geiger, gisant dans une maison isolée. Carmen se trouve à ses côtés, complètement ivre. Marlowe, gentleman, la ramène chez elle puis retourne sur les lieux du crime. Le cadavre a disparu... LA VALSE DES TRUANDS 1969, U.S.A.

    Biography, bibliography, and brief essay about the author.
    http://www.america.net/~davdmock/chandler.htm
    "But down these mean streets a man must go who is not himself mean, who is neither tarnished nor afraid." Raymond Chandler , The Simple Art Of Murder It has been said that Raymond Chandler is a star of the first magnitude.* It has been said that Raymond Chandler wrote like a slumming angel and invested the sun-blinded streets of Los Angeles with a romantic presence.** It has also been said that his plots were a mess.*** It has further been said that he was a world-class drunk. Big deal so was William Faulkner, the man who ruined The Big Sleep for the screen trying to write a script from a novel he didn't understand. Faulkner even had to telegraph Chandler to ask him who killed the Sternwood's chauffer. " I don't know," was Chandler's sarcastic telegraphed reply. Although Chandler was later consulted by director Howard Hawks, only the art of Bogart and Bacall saved the film from disaster. Chandler was, to my knowledge, the first writer to set up a sort of code of ethics for private detective stories (Dashiell Hammett came close, but never actually put it down on paper). He felt that a private detective must himself be above all of the things he encounters; " The best man in the world and a good enough man for any world ."

Chandler began writing stories for crime fiction magazine Black Mask , which also published Dashiell Hammett 's stories. He is best known for his tough but honest private detective Philip Marlowe, the name originating from the English 16th century writer Christopher Marlowe , who had a violent temper. As representative and master of hard-boiled school of crime fiction, Chandler criticized classical puzzle writers for their lack of realism. His most famous target in much quoted essay The Simple Art of Murder (1944) was A.A. Milne 's The Red House Mystery "In everything that can be called art there is a quality of redemption. It may be pure tragedy, if it is high tragedy, and it may be pity and irony, and it may be the raucous laughter of the strong man. But down these mean streets a man must go who is not himself mean, who is neither tarnished nor afraid. The detective in this kind of story must be such a man." (from The Simple Art of Murder Raymond Chandler was born in Chicago, but he grew up in England after the divorce of his parents. His mother, Florence, had married a Quaker railroadman, Maurice Chandler, while visiting her sister in Omaha. In England Chandler lived with his mother, grandmother, and aunt. He attended Dulwich College Preparatory School in London, and studied then international law in France and Germany. He worked as a an assistant stores officer in the Naval Supplies Branch, a substitute teacher at Dulwich College, and published poems and essays in the

But let's face it, trying to nail down someone whose work I admire as much as Chandler's scares the shit out of me. UNDER OATH
    • "Chandler did not write "funny" in a Donald Westlake-goofy humorous way. But, for me, consist of one drawing-room comedy scene after another. In The Long Goodbye , not his larkiest book by a long shot, Marlowe comes upon a thug who has just been worked over by a sadistic cop by the name of (I think but am too lazy to look up) McGoon. The thug says, "That McGoon thinks he's tough." Marlowe looks at the guy's bloody and mangled body and says, "You mean he's not sure?" In The Little Sister , Marlowe finds himself sharing a patio with the head of a movie studio whose only joy in life is watching his dogs urinate in order of their age. Marlowe's first novel finds him engaged in fast-paced patter with a wealthy and spoiled young woman that ends with the detective telling the family butler, "You ought to wean her. She looks old enough." In his last, Playback , there are numerous little sequences that yield witty and nasty and, yes, bitter quips. In effect Chandler's novels seem to me to be the hardboiled equivalent to Noel Coward's theater comedies."
