Original erschien dieser Artikel in der Frankfurter Rundschau vom 27.01.1996 TROUBLE IS MY BUSINESS... AND BUSINESS IS GOOD! Be it riots in L.A., another film noir revival, or any review of a new thriller - Raymond Chandler gets quoted. He would set the scene, pick ingredients with the elegance of a starlet applying blood red to her lips. Enter Marlowe, quintessential private eye, voice like a shot of Old Forester. Cue: action. As cinematic as Chandler's writing was, screen adaptations somehow never equalled the wit and the wisdom of the books. When in California - "the department-store state. The most of everything and the best of nothing" -, Chandler looked for the sham under the Oriental rugs of the rich, the basements of the poor; here he scratched the dirt from under the fingernails of the LAPD. And he captured it so acutely that Hitchcock hired him. His scripts THE BLUE DAHLIA and DOUBLE INDEMNITY were nominated for Oscars. Hollywood loved him... and he hated it. All in all the computer screen left me with a similiar feeling as the silver screen: It encouraged me to get out those books once again, unfold my A1 map of L.A. and wander and wonder. One day someone will come up with virtual reality based on Chandler's creation, that private eye with that tone in his voice, that set of moral codes and manners... And I will rush out to see, if I agree with the virtual reality version. The problem for any adaptation - and beauty of Chandler's writing - remains: Marlowe as we see him with our mind's eye is different to anyone else's.

Authors and Creators Raymond Chandler R aymond Chandler was one of the foremost authors (not merely one of the foremost mystery authors) of the 20th century. Without him, what we know today as the hard-boiled crime tale might be quite differentprobably less literary in aim, if not always in execution. Chandler took the raw, realistic intrigue style that Dashiell Hammett James M. Cain Ernest Hemingway Ross Macdonald , who was among those influenced by Chandler's work, and who would go onin novels such as The Chill (1964) and The Underground Man (1971)to further elevate crime fiction's reputation. However, as business pressures intensified during the Depression, and Cissy's health began to fail with age, Chandler commenced drinking heavily and engaging in affairs with office secretaries. In 1932, he was fired from his job with the oil syndicate. To ease the consequent drain on his savings, he turned back to writing, and in 1933 saw his first short story published in Black Mask It was an 18,000-word story called Chandler relished mystery writing because it seemed to lack pretension, and the pulps' restrictions on word length and subject matter compelled him to master the art of storytelling. Never a past master of plotting, Chandler found his own strengths instead in creating emotion through description and dialogue, and in presenting a prose idiom that melded the precision of his prep-school English with the vigor of American vernacular speech.

11. Raymond Chandler Biography, bibliography, and brief essay about the author. http://www.america.net/~davdmock/chandler.htm

"But down these mean streets a man must go who is not himself mean, who is neither tarnished nor afraid." Raymond Chandler , The Simple Art Of Murder It has been said that Raymond Chandler is a star of the first magnitude.* It has been said that Raymond Chandler wrote like a slumming angel and invested the sun-blinded streets of Los Angeles with a romantic presence.** It has also been said that his plots were a mess.*** It has further been said that he was a world-class drunk. Big deal so was William Faulkner, the man who ruined The Big Sleep for the screen trying to write a script from a novel he didn't understand. Faulkner even had to telegraph Chandler to ask him who killed the Sternwood's chauffer. " I don't know," was Chandler's sarcastic telegraphed reply. Although Chandler was later consulted by director Howard Hawks, only the art of Bogart and Bacall saved the film from disaster. Chandler was, to my knowledge, the first writer to set up a sort of code of ethics for private detective stories (Dashiell Hammett came close, but never actually put it down on paper). He felt that a private detective must himself be above all of the things he encounters; " The best man in the world and a good enough man for any world ."

Choose another writer in this calendar: by name: A B C D ... Z by birthday from the calendar Credits and feedback TimeSearch for Books and Writers by Bamber Gascoigne Raymond Chandler (1888-1959) American motion picture screen writer and author of detective fiction. Chandler began writing stories for crime fiction magazine Black Mask , which also published Dashiell Hammett 's stories. He is best known for his tough but honest private detective Philip Marlowe, the name originating from the English 16th century writer Christopher Marlowe , who had a violent temper. As representative and master of hard-boiled school of crime fiction, Chandler criticized classical puzzle writers for their lack of realism. His most famous target in much quoted essay The Simple Art of Murder (1944) was A.A. Milne 's The Red House Mystery "In everything that can be called art there is a quality of redemption. It may be pure tragedy, if it is high tragedy, and it may be pity and irony, and it may be the raucous laughter of the strong man. But down these mean streets a man must go who is not himself mean, who is neither tarnished nor afraid. The detective in this kind of story must be such a man." (from The Simple Art of Murder Raymond Chandler was born in Chicago, but he grew up in England after the divorce of his parents. His mother, Florence, had married a Quaker railroadman, Maurice Chandler, while visiting her sister in Omaha. Chandler lived with his mother, grandmother, and aunt in Auckland Road, Upper Norwood, in south London. He attended Dulwich College, which was within a longish walking distance of Upper Norwood, and studied then international law in France and Germany. He worked as an assistant stores officer in the Naval Supplies Branch, a temporary teacher at Dulwich College, and published poems and essays in the

By Allen Barra A few years ago, passing through Santa Monica on the way to L.A. International, I found myself gazing at the pseudo-Mexican, stucco-ed architecture and wondering why an area I had never been anywhere near before seemed so familiar. Then I saw, for the first time, the Pacific pier where Philip Marlowe caught the water taxi to the Montecito gambling boat in "Farewell, My Lovely" and realized the source of my dij` vu: I had seen it all before through the eyes of Raymond Chandler. To paraphrase Burt Lancaster in "Atlantic City," the Pacific Ocean was really something back then. Probably no writer has evoked urban Southern California for more readers than Raymond Chandler, which is ironic, because Chandler hated L.A. at the same time he was providing us with an enduring object of nostalgia. As the cover art of the new Vintage reissues of Chandler's nine published books proves, nostalgia is a large part of Chandler's appeal. In the city that constantly renews itself without ever changing, Chandler created an astonishingly adaptable genre that continues to evolve.

Chandler didn't begin writing seriously until he was nearly 45 years old; from 1922 to 1932 Chandler was an accountant and manager for the Dabney Oil Syndicate in Los Angeles.
