A reminder that I want to check out this new biography of Raymond Chandler.
There is something indelibly romantic about LA in the 40s and 50s. A distinctly American alliance of highway sleaze and hollywood glam. And there’s Chandler, who wrote great gritty novels and helped Alfred Hitchcock write screen plays.
According to this article, Raymond Chandler prefers the Gimlet to the Martini (“Chandler claimed a gimlet ‘beat a martini hollow.’”.
Yep, need to read this one.
