Ingrams says "If one name has become synonymous with the detective
story--and film noir--that name is Raymond Chandler. In Chandler's hero,
Philip Marlowe, readers found the incorruptible lone avenger. In
Chandler's Los Angeles, they saw the dark side of beauty and wealth. The
New York Times has called Chandler's fiction "appealing across the
brow," drawing faithful admirers from popular culture to academia. And
with stylish new repackaging from Vintage Crime/Black Lizard, the ranks
of admirers will be increasing."
This reissue of Raymond Chandler's bestselling classics is also
garnering attention because of contemporary authors' support. In a kind
of Chandler festival of events, including public readings and critical
lectures, such diverse authors as Richard Russo, Robert B. Parker,
Esmerelda Santiago, and Pico Lyer have proclaimed their enthusiasm for
all things Chandler. Said Russo, "You read Chandler for the joy of it,
sentence to sentence, even their excesses. Nobody else measures up."
