FROM THE PUBLISHER-Juxtaposing excerpts from Raymond Chandler's best-loved novels and stories with stunning black and white photographs, this volume is a sumptuous tour of Los Angeles and its environs-sure to delight fans of Chandler's work, film buffs, visitors and veterans of the city. The incomparable mystery writer portrayed Los Angeles with a style that was at once realistic, cynical and romantic. A city of looming monoliths, endless alleyways, outlying suburbs teeming with illegal activity, all linked by wide boulevards and miles of expressways, Los Angeles provided the endless physical and moral sprawl for Phillip Marlowe's private peregrinations and investigations. The challenge to those searching for the detective's footprints is to distinguish the real from the imagined of ‘that city rich and vigorous and full of pride, a city lost and beaten and full of emptiness. ' With over 100 black and white photographs and over 60 excerpts RAYMOND CHANDLER'S LOS ANGELES is a visionary journey across a landscape of darkened bungalows, decaying office buildings and sinister nightspots. This unique and elegant book is a tribute to both the writer and his city. inventory #12248.
