During a period of twenty years--from his start as a young writer
for H. L. Mencken's classic pulp magazine The Black Mask in the
early 1930s, through the publication of his novels The Big Sleep
and Farewell, My Lovely, to his career as a Hollywood screenwriter
in the 1940s--Raymond Chandler kept a series of private
notebooks.Drawn from those journals, The Notebooks of Raymond
Chandler offers an intimate view of the writer at work, revealing
early ideas, descriptions, and anecdotes that would later be used
in The Long Goodbye, The Blue Dahlia, and other classics.Filled
with both public and private writings, The Notebooks of Raymond
Chandler includes "Marlowesque" particulars such as pickpocket
lingo, San Quentin jailhouse slang, a "Note on the Tommygun," and
musings on "Craps." Here, too, are surprising, lesser known essays
on Hollywood, the mystery story, British and American writing, and
a wicked parody of Hemingway. This sampler--by turns whimsical,
provocative, irreverent, and fascinating--also contains a list of
possible story titles; "Chandlerisms;" and his short work "English
Summer: A Gothic Romance," which the writer viewed as a turning
point in his career.
