Review
"Raymond Chandler is a master." --_The New York Times_
_
*?[Chandler] wrote as if pain hurt and life mattered.? --*The New Yorker

_
?Raymond Chandler was one of the finest prose writers of the twentieth century. . . . Age does not wither Chandler?s prose. . . . He wrote like an angel.? --_Literary Review

?[T]he prose rises to heights of unselfconscious eloquence, and we realize with a jolt of excitement that we are in the presence of not a mere action tale teller, but a stylist, a writer with a vision.? --Joyce Carol Oates, _The New York Review of Books
_?Chandler wrote like a slumming angel and invested the sun-blinded streets of Los Angeles with a romantic presence.? ?Ross Macdonald
_
_?Raymond Chandler is a star of the first magnitude.? --Erle Stanley Gardner
_
_?Raymond Chandler invented a new way of talking about America, and America has never looked the same to us since.? --Paul Auster
?[Chandler]?s the perfect novelist for our times. He takes us into a different world, a world that?s like ours, but isn?t. ? --Carolyn See
