Tough-minded and typically idiosyncratic, here is Chandler on Chandler, the mystery novel, writing, Hollywood, TV, publishing, cats, and famous crimes. This skillfully edited selection of letters, articles, and notes also includes the short story "A Couple of Writers" and the first chapters of Chandler's last Philip Marlowe novel, "The Poodle Springs Story", left unfinished at his death. Paul Skenazy has provided a new introduction for this edition as well as a new selected bibliography.
