Description
Anthony Fowles explores the complex legacy of Raymond Chandler in this thought-provoking study. A leading expert on the genre, Fowles brings a nuanced understanding of both the literary and commercial aspects of Chandler's work.
The author examines the debate surrounding Chandler's status as a writer, balancing the need to acknowledge his significant influence on the crime genre with caution against overstating his literary achievements. This balanced approach allows Fowles to provide a richly contextualised analysis of Chandler's prose and its enduring impact.
