Few writers are as inextricably linked with a city as Raymond
Chandler and Los Angeles. The neon-lit streets, mobbed-up joints
and seedy rooming houses portrayed in his fiction were real places,
familiar to Angelenos of the time, and in some cases recognisable
today. This is a guide to the world of Raymond Chandler and his
noble alter-ego, the private detective Philip Marlowe. It mixes
locations from the books, the films and Chandler's personal life.
There's the crummy dive where Moose Malloy went looking for Velma;
the actual lounge where Marlowe and Terry Lennox ordered gimlets;
the top-floor suite where oil executive Chandler got his priceless
education in how a dirty, sun-drenched city really operated. This
is the Los Angeles that Raymond Chandler carried in his heart. And
now, you can too.
