Description

 							
  
  Originally
published a decade ago and now expanded, this book is a homage to the greatest detective story writer of the 20th
century, an Anglo-American who took Los Angeles, his adopted home, off the road maps and into the land of legend. For
Raymond Chandler, who died in 1959, his literary descendants will do just about anything, and that includes contributing
to an anthology honoring him. Thus, in here we find the likes of Sara Paretsky, Robert Crais, Loren D. Estleman,
Jonathan Valin, Robert Campbell, Eric Van Lustbader, Simon Brett, Julie Smith, Jeremiah Healy, Roger L. Simon, James
Grady, and numerous others creating stories in the style of Chandler and in the voice of Marlowe. But, as editor Byron
Preiss remarks, "The contributors of this book are here to honor Chandler, not to steal from him."
  
  He
also says, "Many would not be the writers they are had not Chandler followed Hammett and Cain down the back alley of
fiction into the realm of art." That's certainly a succinctly expressive summation. Moreover, today the idea of the
"mean streets" that Chandler wished the best heroes to traverse is one that has, perhaps more than ever before, seized
the imagination of the public when it comes to popular entertainment. What's old is new again, as they say, and in this
case that means noir.
  
  In an introduction by Robert B. Parker--who himself finished the incomplete
Chandler novel Poodle Springs (1990)--we learn the essentials of Chandler's life (the British public school education,
the wife who was 18 years older than he, etc.). But in the stories essayed here we get the effects of an imagined world
that has become an entire universe.
  
  Among the many included are tales of the Thelma Todd murder scandal
by Max Allan Collins; of Dr. Seuss's missing watercolors by Robert L. Simon; of a pro wrestler called The Crusher by
Jonathan Valin; and of the ancient jeweled skull that was the inspiration for Hammett's Maltese Falcon by Dick
Lochte.
  
  Two new stories, not in the earlier edition of this volume, are by Simon, creator of Moses Wine,
and J. Madison Davis, the author of Red Knight and White Rook and president of the North American Association of
International Crime Writers.
  
  Finally, there is an afterword by Chandler scholar and biographer Frank
McShane. And, yes, the real Raymond Chandler is here too, represented by the story "The Pencil," in which that
particular writing instrument turns out to be one gift you never want to receive. This book is not quite the real thing;
it can't be. But it's as close as you could hope to find. --Otto Penzler
  
  From Library Journal
  
  Philip Marlowe is arguably the most popular and influential character in American hard-boiled detective fiction.
There is a little bit of the wise-cracking, incorruptible Marlowe in just about every detective that followed since he
made his debut in Chandler's The Big Sleep in 1939. To commemorate Chandler's 1988 centenary, 25 of today's top mystery
writers, e.g., Max Allan Collins, Sara Paretsky, and Loren Estleman, offer their take on Marlowe. The collection is
nicely capped with Chandler's own last Marlowe story, "The Pencil." Marlowe's popularity has waned very little, so this
should circulate well.
