Also includes two-color front and rear endpapers. "In Raymond Chandler's hands, the pulp crime story became a haunting mystery of power and corruption, set against a modern cityscape both lyrical and violent. With humor, and an unerring sense of dialogue and the telling details of dress and behavior, he created a distinctive fictional universe out of the dark side of sunlit Los Angeles. In the process, he transformed both crime writing and the American language. Now Chandler joins the authoritative Library of America series in a comprehensive two-volume set displaying all the facets of his brilliant talent. Stories & Early Novels includes every story that Chandler did not later incorporate into a novel -- thirteen in all, among them such classics as "Red Wind," "Finger Man," "The King in Yellow," and "Trouble Is My Business." Drawn from the pages of Black Mask and Dime Detective, these stories show how Chandler adapted the violent conventions of the pulp magazines - with their brisk exposition and rapid-fire dialogue - to his own emerging vision of 20th century America. With a poet's sensitivity he transcribes the moods and textures of a world of gangsters and crooked politicians, lost souls and small-time operators. Against that backdrop we see the gradual development of his most indelible creation, the classic private eye whose hard-boiled exterior guards a sentimental and essentially moral nature. In his first novel, The Big Sleep (1939), that character finds his full-fledged form as Philip Marlowe: at once tough, independent, brash, disillusioned, and sensitive - a man of weary honor threading his way (in Chandler's phrase) "down these mean streets" among blackmailers, pornographers, and murderers for hire. In Farewell, My Lovely (1940), Chandler's personal favorite among his novels, Marlowe's search for a missing woman leads him from shanties and honky-tonks to the highest reaches of power, encountering an array of richly drawn characters. The High Window (1942), about a rare coin that becomes the catalyst by which a hushed-up crime comes back to haunt a wealthy family, is partly a humorous burlesque of pulp fiction. All three novels show Chandler at a peak of verbal inventiveness and storytelling drive. Raymond Chandler: Stories & Early Novels contains a newly researched chronology of Chandler's life, explanatory notes, and an essay on the texts. Frank MacShane, editor, is author of The Life of Raymond Chandler and Raymond Chandler: A Bibliography and editor of The Letters of Raymond Chandler and The Notebooks of Raymond Chandler and English Summer." - from the inner front and rear jacket flaps.
