Raymond Chandler: A Biography by Tom Hiney
Requirements: .ePUB reader, 1.3mb
Overview: Born in Nebraska of Irish parents, brought up in Chicago, educated at Dulwich College, and self-taught on those ‘mean streets’ of Los Angeles about which he wrote, Raymond Chandler – writer, accountant, civil servant, oil executive, poet, recluse, charmer, gentleman, drunk – was as full of contradictions as his origins. This is the first authorised biography in over twenty years of the cult novelist who was described by Evelyn Waugh in 1949 as ‘the best writer in America’ and who inspired ‘film noir’ and crime writing over the next half century.

With access to hundreds of unseen personal documents, photographs and previously unrecorded accounts by those who knew Chandler, Tom Hiney has unearthed revealing new material about the man and the writer. In the light of new discoveries a much rawer, more complex, sympathetic and brilliant Chandler emerges – a man quite as extraordinary as the fiction he wrote.
